Mississippi River

Time for local waters.  It is too hot to go for trout, not that there are many around to be caught this year.  There is a widening of the Mississippi River which is about 20 minutes from home so it is easy to load the tube for some evening fishing.  A couple of hours before sunset is the best time.  It is also a good idea not to go on the weekend because the place is popular and everything with fins gets scattered.   I got about five SM like this one and a variety of 'others' some on the dry fly.  My favorite bass fly as described in earlier posts is my first go-to fly.  But after I lost it in a nearby tree, I put on one of my 'failed trout flies', an 'orange something or other' which caught just as well.  No need to use anything other than a  dry line as the fish are in the shallows.   The bass, this night, were near the faster moving water.
