I dunno nuffin 'bout Hefner but there are always folks fishing Overholser below the dam and the river back up under the new Rt. 66 bridge. I can't help but think that they wouldn't be down there day after day after day if they were in a dry hole ...

I'm not sure I trust the reports about Hefner from Lucky Lure; they always seem to be pretty good, might have something to do with them selling more bait if the fish are biting.

I know otherwise at least at the moment. The cats are biting very well.

Catfish are biting really well right now on the rocks.
