Its been awhile since the last time I really fished my local brown water. For over a year everytime I drove past I noticed that the water was always up, making sight casting to carp nearly impossible so I simply gave up on the matter. With most of our recent outings a bust, I decided to check the brown water once again and target bass this time. After a lengthy discussion of our hatred of hipster sportsmen posers, Chul and I hit the water. In all honesty I didn't have much faith but after only five casts, I hooked up on a fairly respectable largemouth.
The river has changed and while it looks like there is a lot of water, there are plenty of areas to sight cast to carp in the shallows. When we saw a few we switched tactics and I removed my bunny leech in favor for a Prince Harry Aggravator. Unfortunately we had no success today with the golden ghost. The wind made it problematic to make a proper presentation. Despite the lack of carp we found several spots with baby and juvenile bass which would take my fly on every cast.
We share the same feelings about hipsters (whether they be on the water or out in public).
