I went for a little over an hour just before dark. The creek I fished was stained but not muddy. The fish were biting great. I got 2 largemouth, 3 smallmouth, 3 drum, and a rock bass. Great fun on 2lb test.

Last cast was the best fish, a nice 15 inch smallmouth. I will post a few pics from my phone later. I only fished one hole and probably never moved more than 10 ft the whole time. The fish were at the base of a riffle and at the head of the hole.

The high water in the creeks in the summer is a blessing. Typically, many small creeks are unfishable by this point in the summer as they are too hot and low. The spot I fished tonight was dead a few weeks ago. Nothing in it and full of algae. The fish will leave when the water drops again.
