Skinny water fishing!

Times are hard in my neck of the woods.  Drought has hit the entire part of the country where I am.  Rain is light, rivers and lakes are down.  Some more than others.  This region is full of giant river run reservoir.  Their water outlets are more for the flood control then energy, so we get a lot of fish flushed down into the tail waters.  This had made for some great fishing in a small area.  But when these rivers lose all flow, and hardly run.

This can make a sixteen foot deep river run a foot or two and become only about six feet wide. 

Some days can be slow, and some can be turned around with just two fish.



 Got him on the dropper of a hopper and dropper.  Had this massive hook stuck in its mouth, was about a 6/0.




Drum love crawfish flies.
Some times six or seven fish is great, but some times one or two make four hours worth it.
