I was looking at the radar today while in physical therapy and saw what looked like a break in the rain that might last until dark. I also saw on the river forecast that it had changed to a stand today and Thursday and up a foot Friday. Friday was going to be my fishing day but it looked like I needed to go today. After lunch I hit the water and around 12:45 my DT-10 hit the water on the first cast. It didn’t take too many casts before the first fish came to the boat, and two more in quick succession. My thinking was oh boy I’m getting ready to tear them up here but that didn’t materialize. Then it started to rain and the rainsuit came out. So much for my forecast. No more fish in that spot so I started down the bank. There was a good spot Mickey and I found that was marked by a snag on the bank. It was a large treetop that was in pretty deep water when we found it but was really deep now. The DT-10 would just touch it locating it for me. I threw a worm up and down it with no results. The DT-10 got a second chance and a large crappie bit right under the boat. It was invited home for dinner and was poached with Hollandaise and capers. YUM. Continuing down the bank there were no takers but the rain continued on and off. Finally the worm enticed a deep fish to bite but it was the only one in that spot.  It was also the first fish caught on some new line on my spinning reel. It is made by Ardent and is called Gliss. It is as limp as the 17# Nanofil, is a very small diameter that casts a mile, and is not a braid. It has no stretch and is 40# test just right for my frog rod. Mickey and I had found a spot where we caught a couple on the first trip but caught a lot on the second one. In that one spot I caught two dozen and probably could have caught more but it was beginning to get dark. I quit with 28, three of which were over 3 and the largest was 3 1/2 . Then I made my break for the ramp. The river was at 26 feet and the water temperature was 55 degrees. With the water up 7 feet since Mickey and I went last and two months had gone by, I had to use the GPS on the depthfinder to find some of the spots. They were not marked with a waypoint but I could see where the boat had gone in November. The good spots were where the line was all “squiggley”. We had circled and circled those spots and you could see them well.
