FirstLight, Upper Nick, Brownfish, Greenfish, or Spotted Bass (We Hoped), 3/5/17, Nauticman - FishNews - 03-11-2017 Dad and I hit the river today at about 30 minutes after sunrise. Fished until 3:45. And for us it was tough, tough, tough. Not sure I remember a day down there where neither one of us scratched off a good Brownfish or Fatty. We tried different patterns and couldn't get much going. <br /><br />We fished most of our "usual places" and they did not pan out. We did get some bites, but it was almost as if the fish were just mouthing the lures; you'd set the hook and feel some pressure but then no fish. <br /><br />The water temp early was 53 and when we took out it was at 57 i believe. The flow varied; early it was 20'000+ cfs and when we took out it was 12,700 cfs. <br /><br />We finished with 1 small Browfish, 1 Keeper spot, 3 white bass, 1 yellow bass, 2 drum, and a blue cat. We threw everything pretty much. JB's, Cranks, Jigs, SB's, etc.<br /><br /><br /><br />
