4/30/2011 - We set records here in Ohio for rainfall amounts this month. That being said, do I need to tell anyone that the rivers are still way up. Muddy. The fish? Hell I didn't catch any, but I tried.
Yesterday at 3:30pm I took off out of Fairborn, Ohio and went to see if after two days off no rain had the rivers recovered. The answer is "Hell No". I parked at the Public access point at U.S 35 and New Germany Treibien Roads. This is Eagles Pass canoe launch....whatever. Water was up past the launch and real muddy. The weather although was perfect about 70, sunny, a little breeze, no humidity....perfect. Except, I could not get a fish to grab my line no matter what I threw at 'em.
I lost 3 of my favorite crankbaits. The wouldn't even chase my spinner. White in color that I always have luck on in the spring. Tube Baits? Nope, not even a nibble.....it was one of those days.
I would rather be out walking the river, loosing lures, getting snagged. Than stay at home to mow the yard or something crazy like that......
So there I was, standing in a river, waving a stick, not catching a thing....and loving every moment of it.
Go fish
