Checked the water temp yesterday and it was 52 degrees on the Duck River here in middle Tn. Air temp was 72. Caught this little guy shortly after that viscious attack earlier. Caught it on a Parachute Adams I had just tied. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Tom, In the last 14 days here we have had almost 11 feet of snow at the upper altitudes, about 30 inches at the house, thank goodness the grass is covered, cause mowing really cuts into my fishing time.
