Sunset: 8:00PM (Last cast)

River level is at 585 ft above sea level , and will continue to drop today and into Monday.
We only saw limited success yesterday, a few anglers caught singles and and doubles. Orleans park and White Street access are high water level areas and are typically productive on days like today. Saw a few fish come out of buttonwood and Jerome rd rapiids , and the Towpath but all in all no partictular area was better than an other–water was still to high.
Still stick with the larger and medium sized heads – larger heads and twister tails have been working better in this low vis mud filled water, presenting a bigger bait target and and better vibration.
Wading to bluegrass still not be possible today.

Be safe, Have Fun and good luck fishing
