Rain has pretty much made the fishing in the central to eastern part really tough. Kaw is rising quickly, muddy as heck, and the local lakes are doing the same.
Beautiful Brown! What fly did he use?
He doesnt have the patience to fly fish Dennis. He was using a gold and black sinking rapala, good crankbait. The rapala brook trout sinking has been the best producer almost everywhere we fish in clearer water, not so that day. Stained water kept his numbers down that day. Usually in clear water the crankbaits produce really good.
I fished yesterday and fishing is still good. They have been generating in the afternoon lately so dont expect to wade much if you go late.I think everyone was catching something, some more than others. My exciting moment was the striper that that got off. Not big, but that take was fast and aggressive. Reminded me of the movie Jaws when it was pulling the barrels. My indicator went under and started going sideways really fast, I could see it under the water. He didn't care for the pressure I was putting on him and became airborne, threw the fly and left. Oh well, next cast. You don' t get every fish and I missed a bunch yesterday.

Nice!
Ya, ya, keep rubbing it in! Lol.
Oh no Dennis, I wouldn't do that. It's just that the LIR is a wonderful place to spend some time this time of year. Fish for trout until the water starts, then get with my guide buddy and maybe do a little stripper fishing or even do a little cat fishing on the Arkansas. If everything I mentioned is a failure then I can always set in a chair with my feet in the cold water drinking an adult beverage and think about just how hot it really is inside a coal burning power plant in the summer time.......
