A couple of young guys and myself drug my raft from saddlers falls at Cedar Valley Resort access # 1 to the new hardy bridge. Crazy low and clear conditions. We caught fish and had fun, but we need some rain, really bad. Deads mans curve was not too bad. Really enjoyed seeing our beautiful smallies.

Well we got out today and had a lot of debris hit us about 10am. I thought maybe we had a lot of rain north of us, but about 2pm it began to clear up. They lowered the gate at dam 1 to drop all the water out of lake above. They do this to help kill the moss. Messed up fishing for a few hours, got down to Needles eye above Saddlers and the bite was on! 2 smallies and a bunch of bows. Nymphing and olive woollies. Turned out to be a great day!

Last few trips white lightning has worked, with best fly being y2k. Sunny days can be tough. Find the holes. River is as low as I have seen in over 20 yrs. Need a lot of rain bad. Sunday as the front moved thru, we had a brief shower. Caught a big largemouth bass today, and plenty of rainbows. Havnt seen a smallie or brown this week yet...
