Since the last time I went to the Garhole, I’ve had a weeklong bout of the flu. The weather was pretty so I was ready for some fresh air. The fishing started at 10:00 and at first bites were hard to come by. When the morning really warmed up so did the fish. I started  catching them on a Booyah. They were biting a shakey head last time but I could not get a bite on one today. So a Booyah it was, close to the bank, out from the bank, and on top of every log I could find, especially good was the Lazy Ike log. I ended up with 31 and a FOD of   5 – 8.

Other notable fish were a couple of 3 1/4s, a 3 – 10, and a 4 -1 . The best 5 weight was 19 – 9. I lost another three fish in the 3 pound range with most of those not staying hooked for over 3 seconds. Regardless, it was great therapy for one recovering from the flu.
