Fall River May 2017

Postby stanbery » May 29th, 2017, 9:13 pm

Just got back on Thursday and Ray and I had a blast but the fishing was a little on the slow side for us since the grass just started to grow in the river and the bows scare easy with no cover to hide in.
The views do make up for it.

And the fishing was not bad either

Some fat fish there. That 24 inch fish is a trophy, but yours are, as Brian said, footballs. Thanks for posting.

Nice trip report Jon, I'm glad you and Ray got sometime on the water. But I have question for you, did you fish dries or what you always use?
