You just never know

Hi Folks, Guided a river smallmouth trip yesterday with spin clients.  Awful darn hot on the river with a big bright sun.  The air temperature was already 78 degrees at 6:00am yesterday morning.  The water temperature was 70 degrees and low and clear.  I know I sound like a broken record but we really need rain as we are in a drought.  We fished slow pools that had lots of cover from downed wood and rock.  Dead drifting 3" green and crawfish colored Senkos.  We landed 8 smallmouth plus 3 trout.  Missed a few fish and lost a bunch that had just short struck the rubber and never really got hooked.  I was pretty surprised to see us catch two stocked rainbows and 1 12" plus native brook trout.  Not our intended target and especially in the warm water.  As you can imagine, each trout was holding in a heavy riffle with the warm water temperatures.  Pretty interesting that the trout takes were fairly aggressive while the smallmouth picked up the Senko and would swim off with it slowly.  I guess the beauty of fishing is you are never fully sure what you can or will catch on a particular day.  I am of to run the boat for smallmouth bass this morning.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
