Went solo for a couple of hours below the Hospital just to check the water level and condition. Since they have completed the sewage line additions, the river has begun to return to a more normal condition. Water was fairly clear by usual standards, and running just enough for a slight current. Since the flood last year, the bass have not really settle in, but the first fish I caught was a fat, 13 inch largemouth on the woolly bugger. I caught several sunfish later on the foam hopper, but only one over 6”. I met two other fly fishermen, young guys from Round Rock, and invited them to the next meeting. All in all, a good morning.

BEGIN AND END TIMES: 3:30 PM til 5:30 PM
AIR TEMPERATURE, WEATHER CONDITIONS: 85 Degrees, Partly Cloudy
WATER TEMPERATURE, WATER CONDITION: Water Temp about 74 Degrees, clearing (about 105 cfs, slightly high)
FLIES THAT WORKED : Hopper pattern in size 10
DESCRIPTION OF THE OUTING: Went solo to check out the changes in the river since the big flood. River has changed significantly, creating several new holding locations for fish. Flood has cleaned out the trash and taken numerous small trees out, making casting much easier. Several new gravel bars allow access to areas previously difficult to reach. I caught about 20 sunfish, primarily longear, but only one small bass.
