Dry as a bone..

here boys and girls. We need some damn rain, and we need it bad. The hills are crunchy and a spark will light the place up with hardly any new green anywhere to be found.  Carp are happy though! A few places I went were choked full of small fish all over the place. Some feeding,  a few early spawners and some just layed up in the sun waiting for an Osprey to pick em off. Which I saw twice!  Fishing right now is solid and on places like I went yesterday and  you can really rack some numbers and have a ball on small fish if one is stealthy. I actually like going in those areas with small sticks and catch a bunch. If you blow a shot there is always another. It doesn't take the place for quality fish by any means but it definitly has and attraction to me. Sort of like small stream fishing I guess. With the lack of rain the water is gin clear and they travel in schools of a dozen or more fish with some pushing small bait fish up into the shallow cuts and weed banks.  A good one is a 6-8ler but the fun is huge.
