Default Pickwick Tailrace

Decided to go to Pickwick even though I knew the water would be falling out after 11:00 a.m. Glad I made the trip. I had one good hour of great white bass action. I caught 43 in that hour...cookie cutter fish all around the 13 inch mark. It was a great fight on the new Major Craft ultra light using 3# test FC line with a Bison colored Trout Magnet on a 3/32 ounce jig head. Was casting past a four foot deep flat into 15 feet of water and bumping it along the bottom. When it would hit the wall on the return they would hammer it. A good initial jolt and fight. The water dropped 6 feet in just 2 hours. As often is the case when that happens the white bass head deep and down stream....and one may as well go home....the fishing is over. When I started fishing the output was over 70,000 CFS. When I left it was only a little over 8,000 CFS. But man it sure felt good to get in some fish action again.


Regards
