St.Mary's River June 3rd & 4th
The water on the St. Mary's was high running 12 times its normal flow. I was hoping for an increase during the spring runoff so as to enable a float rather than a walk and wade but this was excessive!
The color had clear somewhat and have a couple of feet of visibility. Usually a worm or a copper john are hot items this time of year. Not so! It was a very slow day but some nice fish were caught.
Friday was even higher with the water up another 20 cubic meters per second. The plan was simple
Float to the most productive area from last day and anchor. We stayed in the same place for 5 hrs. We caught enough fish to keep us going but it wasn’t quick action.
We then took out and headed for a pike lake. A major storm blew in and pushed us around the lake for a while but the pike didn’t seem to mind. They were on the feed and the action was fast and very fun. A great day was had by all.
