hi Dick, some good looking pictures you got there,i fish chinks all year . i use fly rods and flies,nothing like a big'o thumper on the end of a leader.
well it's on the water temp is 75,and the big,ole biguns are bumping the beds.
caught a nice mess this am,ugly green sinking spider,nothing like the wine of fly line in the am.
well the weather just will not get right,the temp this am is 54 at sunrise,the water temp is in the upper sixteys,the wind is out of the north.
i guess i will go take a shot at those chinks this am.
Hey Shooter, I with you on that ,the scarest time I ever had down there was I was sculling from the front of the john boat and I hit a log right in the ribs with the paddle
i went today,15 to 20 mph winds,out of the south,caught a few,not ready yet but close.
water temp dropped ,i had to go deep to find fish,would have been a nice day to go sailing.
Very interesting about the spawning temp fluctuation due to demographic location.... In my area (Northern Illinois) the reds spawn right after the Gills when water temps are in the mid 70's.
I can see right now I'm going have to take some photos out on the water this year, I've tried not to in the past because sometimes they could be considered evidence.
