Current Report
Spent 3 days flyfishing for
Smallies on the North Fork,
thank God for creek chubs.
Talked to many locals who are
wondering where the fish are?
One older native told us
there has been a fish kill,
another young fella asked if
we had seen "sores" on any of
our fish? This was not
encouraging. Went to all the
places the local shop
mentioned.....poor results.
No smallies larger than 9"
and very few and far between.
The water temps and clarity
were very good, cool part
cloudy days. Evenings were
excellent with large bug
hatches. Other than the high
methylmercury levels in the
fish/water, has anyone heard
about problems with the
smallmouth population?
