Embarras River

Stream very low with remarkably low viz. Still found fish in the holes here. Great spot for a quick few hours of fishing, esp on UL.

Don't laugh too hard but it is a PB, topping the first one I ever caught at this same location last yr. They are just so cool looking and have all the spunk you'd expect. Let's hear it for "those other fish"!

No skunk 🦨 today, size 12 croc for scale

Maybe the last trip with the yak this year and the first time launched here. Just a few photos of the dozen or so LMBs, 2 gills and 2 blk crappies. Slow going nonetheless. And boy, were the fish chilly to handle. Surprised they were as fiesty as they were. Water temps low to mid 50s.

In a stream where a 12" LMB is an "oh my", there were even bigger ones out to play today! Definitely PB for this spot. About 20 LMB all day with a few crappies and 1 'gill (camera shy). Gorgeous day to be out too! Hope some of you got to enjoy it.

Exploring new waters and ended up with diverse dinks incl my first ever pickerel. I guess that makes it a PB Day! Wow are they slimy.

It may not look it by the photo (perhaps my lack of photography skill) but tied a PB for rock bass in a place I didn't think had any of them. Nice 10" black crappie and 3 small LMBs to round out a slow but windy windy day. Water temp back up to 60F here...wow!

1.25" of rain hardly moved creek water levels but boy it (or something) got to the fish! 20+ LMB with 2 14" and several 11"-12". A couple black crappie and bluegills to round it out. And all in a headwater creek. Great fall day. Water temp 50F.
