Normandy 04/04/2014
Had planned a crappie trip to Nickajack but storms put a stop to that. So headed to my old friend Normandy. Was very surprised to find no one at all at the dam. Hoped to get into some Kentucky's but they are apparently gone back down river. I got a solid week of them so no complaints. The only fish I could catch directly below the dam were rock bass. They were really stacked in there. It was a fish every cast until I had caught 65 of them and decided to go down river for some trout. While those fish are small the fight they give in the current is great....plus they are a very pretty fish. Headed to a hole down stream and caught 73 trout before deciding to come home. No big ones today...mostly 10-11 inch fish. They were on a feeding frenzy. If I missed one I could watch them chase it until they hit it again. Just neat to see that. I was puling them off a riffle only about 2 feet deep. The lure of choice today was a white Trout Magnet. Caught all my trout on the Phenix UL with the Daiwa Luvias reel. That is just a great setup.
