Water was about 3' which made it reasonable to paddle upstream to one of my better fishing "holes"! Seen lots of wildlife on way, deer, fox, muskrat, Bald eagle, all kinds waterfowl, and a heron rookery which was in full swing! The purpose of the trip, although short, was to catch a few smallmouth. However, it ended up being a slug-fest with whisker fish! As you will see in attached photos, there were specific baits which they liked! Ended up with at least 8 on these baits. On a secondary note did catch 6 brown fish, and 1 greeny! Another upward swing of a few degrees and a drop of 6-12" of water and the feed-bag should really turn on for this "little river" !!!!!
