We were supposed to be there today thru Sunday night. That turned into a hard pass. Oh well, maybe we will try again and get up before the end of the month.

2,200 up top and over 3,000 down low--
 Could this be the magic potion we have been waiting for ???

I saw 4k+ on the gauge at Pineville.

I saw 4000 from the EndZone Parking lot in P-Town yesterday, definitely NOT a place where you want to make a mistake fishing.
 
Our hours on the water were limited, as 2B developed cramps and his thrown shoulder and did not brave the rotten weather on Thursday, and had a couple before I got there on Wednesday. Friday, we just packed up and drove home, as it was TOO HIGH!  Lots of brownies in all the ditches near where they get stocked all along the lake, but also all the license plates from Mass, Conn, NJ, PA, Va, and Colorado that were at the SR the day prior, at a lot of the spots.  In the monsoon I fished a very long stretch of river, just the choice spots (I had it all to myself, there was even no one in the Stairs when I drove by!).  Not a pull except for the oak leaves on every other cast.  I'll be back hoping for a few more chrome in the river if it comes down by Tuesday, but Griz told me they got over 3 inches at the hatchery.

It didn't come up hard until Thursday night.  When I started on Thursday, it was about 1000, after the 3.5 hours of rain, 2 hours of deluge, it had gone up to 1300.  Friday AM we just shrugged and said if it was Thursday, we could head north, but since it was Friday, it was time to head west.

IF you change your mind, we should be up there Tuesday through Friday ( and I'm headed up right after I vote and do the dishes here, btw it is RAINING again!).  I try to keep my dance card clear this time of year, and would through the new year but Santa and Frosty the Snowman get in the way.

Read todays Admin fishing report and todays Dsr report- take your pick.
Is it just me being older and grouchier ? ?
If so straighten me out- am startin to wonder- lol, wont get all in a huff about it.

Just gopt back from 2 days on the river.  The fish are there but they are in winter mode dropping into winter lies. No Indian Summer this year.  Git one brown and lost a good chromer, but the swing was not effective, the guys doing multiples were fishing eggs or nymphs.  Going back Tuesday, hoping it warms up a little.  It was 16 this AM and Centerville Road was one big sheet of ice, slow drive home and all on 3 and 104 no back roads in this weather.
