Early Fall Fishing

I fished this past Monday and today.  Fall has definitely arrived bringing cooler temperatures and leaves falling into the water.  Monday (9/17) was OK, the water was low and clear, but I caught a few small bass.  Today, after a few days of solid rain the flow was up and the water was high and muddy, the fishing was pretty lousy today.

I should have driven down river to see if I could get into some chrome, but I fished near home for late season bass.  I don't know that I could have caught anything in the mocha colored water.  I always prefer to catch fish, but today, I was just happy to be out fishing.  This is how it goes in the early fall when you're in law school.
