I hit the river twice in the past week for around an hour each time. I didn't get them dialed in either time. Today I worked seams next to fast water, nada, then deeper slower water next to rip rap, nada. Seeing how I couldn't find them in the usual spots I just started fan casting an xrap working my way back to the truck. Almost got the skunk when this little guy came out to play.

almost couldn't believe it was a fish on my line
and of course you can't throw an xrap with out picking up one of these SOBs

here's a decent fish bad picture from the other outing

As usual especially this time year a bigger bait = a bigger fish. The raps I was throwing

I threw rebel craws, jig and twister, helgies, and few other colored rapalas with no action. It seems the clouds I was hoping for early have finally moved in. I'm a little frustrated with my lunch break results so I'll be heading to STC for the evening bite. The river is running clearer then
I prefer but in great shape, not too many leaves yet.
