Wednesday, Oct 3, 2012Quote(s) of the Day: What a fantastic day on Espy Ranch.
Fishing Highlights:
The day started out with constant hook-ups every few minutes. As the wind picked up and tested our casting skills, the fish were a little more difficult to hook. Even with the huge gusts, fishing was great and we were able to pick our way through pocket water and riffles for fish up to the 20 inch mark.The fishing is great. Clear skies and 56-59 degree weather. The water temperature was between 44-47 degrees and Crystal Clear.
