Not so Hot at New

Small Small Mouth on the New River from Mick Berry on Vimeo.





Beautiful day, but not much happening with the smallies. Floated a section rarely floated because the water conditions were high enough, but that also made for darker water. Used a green wooly with no result, then tied on a egg leach which made it nice to see in the water. Figured out they would take it just hanging in the current when I had cast and was messing with the canoe (teathering it to my waste) when I caught a little smallie by accident. That worked for Christian also on her black rooster tail.

Quote of the day:
Govna: "can you see your lure right there spinning in the current"
Chris: "Yeah, I'm suprised it doesn't give the fish a seizure from looking at it".

May head up into Virginia section in June after the spawn and see what happens.

Mikey on the Naknek




Ok, boys, I'm writing this 0n behalf of ole Mikey.. The past weekend he finally got out to the Naknek and had a blast. He spent a couple days there, had some awesome weather and some not-so-awesome weather. One day had huge ice chunks in the river, one about took Mikey to the Great Stream in the Sky. He had to work a bit for the fish, usually landing about 20 a day. Had several that were 36", the average being 5lbs and up. You can tell by his sublime grin he had the time of his life, and is doing his best to get back there ASAP! Enjoy. ps. a lot of these were caught on a 6wt rod... he did though finally move up to an 8.
