a little bit more 2019...

Lots of rain. The creeks coming up and with warmer water than the Ohio because of the rain. I could just picture this pulling the fish a bit tighter into the mouths of the streams dumping into the big river.  Sometimes it's just grinding it out in winter but sometimes it's timing. Today was timing. I started close to Cincy and drove out 52, heading east and targeting the mouths of five or six streams. At three I found fish. Nothing spectacular but at a rate you would call a fish every now and then, which is all you can really ask for in winter.  Water resistant hunting jacket over the waterproof hodgeman wading jacket, knee high rubber boots and still ending up covered in mud and soaking wet and smelling like a wet dog. All the fish came on a 3/8 ounce jighead and either a paddletail grub or a curly shad.
