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.

sweet! love the filming.. scenery is gorgeous. love the waders full of water.. classic Gov'na move. I'm sure that Smallie has gone to the great stream beyond.. either that, or a helluva outta body experience!
