Notes

MCB, TMM, & BD:

I was going to fish the Loop section above Spruce Creek this morning, but when I got there about 7:15 there was already a guy spin fishing below the bridge, so I just drove up to the quarry and started right above the quarry bridge in that big flat section. I fished up until I was right below the point where the 453 bridge goes over the river where they are working on the bridge.

I'm fairly sure that this is the lowest, slowest, and clearest that I have ever seen the LJ in November, or maybe ever, at least for the last ten years or so. I guess I shouldn't complain because it was at least warm enough this morning that my hands didn't freeze and that's always a plus in November. The rest of the week is supposed to have warm mornings, so I may get in a bit more fishing. Tomorrow, however, Diane and I are both working the polls, so we will be busy from about 6:00 AM until about 10:00 PM. A long, long day for us old folks.

I only managed to catch eight brown trout this morning. The smallest trout was six inches, the biggest trout was 13 inches and most of them were around nine inches. All in all not a great day for big results, but it was still nice to be out on the stream and out of the house. I had the entire quarry section to myself and that's always a plus for me.
