After a good day on the water with Richard Simms last Sunday, we decided it was worth our while to hit the river in the kayaks this afternoon (a week later). Two things we didn’t look at, the weather or the flow. The flow ended up being pretty legit, but the rains did come. Fortunately, the heavy rains fell while temps hovered in the low 60s so it was tolerable if not heavy at times.

We drifted in and out and had the feeling that we weren’t going to catch any fish but ended up with a half dozen fish each before the fading light chased us home. As the winter weather draws closer, our fishing trips from the kayaks will probably be limited, but we just can’t seem to stop going while the bite is still decent.
