Had a nice first wade of the year late Sunday. I was amazed at how high and fast the flow of water was even though rain was not that recent. Had two 12-14" smallies on a smaller white spinnerbait early on. The flow made it hard to fish some spots so I walked to a deeper pool. I started fishing smaller plastics,like a beaver, around heavy wood cover. Caught the largest LM I've ever caught in the Elkhorn-4lb.4oz.-18". About three casts later caught a 3lb.4oz.LM. I should have retied at this point-someday I'll learn that lesson-but I was too excited to make the next cast. Hooked another good fish that broke off right at the hook eye. I was fishing 8lb.line. At the end of only about 2 1/2 hrs. had about 13 fish. It was a blast! At least 9 of those came from that one wood pile that gave the fish some slack water behind the wood. By the way the two big females were loaded with eggs.
