The wet and rainy Spring has progressed to a wet and rainy Summer. Austin and I floated our usual section from the Dam to Southside. We landed several, but most came in slack water and eddies.
My brother Brian, Austin, Jamie, and I headed up to Grant/Pendleton/Hardy County to spend a week fishing the South Branch of the Potomac water shed. The water was up and it rained nearly every day, but the fishing was good and we landed several nice Smallmouth with Brook and Rainbow Trout mixed in. The night before we left we had a huge bonfire burning up the week's supply of firewood in one night given that the rain wouldn't allow a camp fire earlier in the week. A fitting way to reflect on a great trip. On the last day we did a little native trout fishing before heading home.
