Fishing on the Fourth of July




Yesterday was the 4th of July and I was part of a group trip. Jamie and I took the father,son, and two of his sons friends. I took Hugh, the Dad and a friend, Joe. I used to play soccer with Hugh's son, Tyler. Joe is from Austin, Tx. Joe is the boyfriend of a friend of mine from grade school. What a small world huh? Anyhow, Fishing was great. Once they got comfortable with the rods in their hands they started to smoke them. Surprisingly, the river was not nearly as crowded as it was on the 3rd of July. The Corps had given us a nice window of low water, turning the water off the night before at 11 p.m. and not turning it back on until 8 a.m. that morning. We caught fish in every drift we fished. We started off fishing some slow dead drift water and moved on into fishing some shoals. The swift water produced some excitement and some good action. Hugh caught a nice brown which is always exciting. We ended our day at noon with somewhere between 30 to 35 fish. It was a great morning on the Little Red River.
