Last week or 2, all the irrigation gates from the main river body have been closed. Water level in the main body of the river has remained at about 90% full. But all the feeder channels are getting very low to just about dry. 

So Wednesday 15th, I decided to make a trip up to the river later in the day.  Got my lines wet about 5:45 p.m. and at about 7:05 one line started moving sideways, but with no wind. Picked up the rod and slowly lifted while tightening up the drag, YESSIR...fight on! At 7:10 netted and landed my PB Cat (25.0 ") so far this year.  Re-baited that hook, cast out to same general spot, and at 7:30 had a second taker. Not as big, but decent.  That was it for the next hour and packed up and headed home. 

Yesterday 16 July went back to same spot, a bit later in the evening. Put out 2 lines about 7:15 p.m.  and shortly  after, John arrived. We talked a few minutes and he moved on to set up a bit down river.  About 7:55 he came back to where I was, and seconds after he got there, one of my poles bent over, and drag started singing.  That became my new PB for this year,  27.5 " bad attitude male. John helped me do the CPR thing and he returned to his spot.  At 8:20 second pole bent down and fight on again. Netted and landed my NEW PB for this year.  11 lb. 8 oz. big headed  daddy cat.

Nice job Forest.  I went out this morning and caught a few.  1st time I had been out for a while.  River wasn't hardly moving at all.

  Just got home from an attempt to get the wife on some more cats. She needs at least 1 to finish her 3 brackets.  But no luck for either of us. I guess that's what happens when I have 2 good days in a row, then skip a day.  The river main body is still up fairly good from about the hunt club to the bottom bridges and gates.  Saw your report from your early morning trip.
Today was a nice breeze, kept the skeeters down, but I won't do after dark or before daylight. Too many skeeter bites and I react badly.
