| I'll be fishing the Housy/Naughy the evening of 4/28. Maybe starting around 7:00 or so. If anyone is interested in meeting up send me a PM. |

| What would be the best time to fish the housy? And does the tides affect the waters after the dam? |

| Or you can not catch on any tide. Skunked again, although there were a few fish pulled in while I was there. I was there from 7 to about 10. Rising tide and very cold water and windy as hell. Threw the gauntlet - shads, flukes, bucktails, sluggos, divers, swimmers - in a rainbow of colors. Maybe things will pick up after this crappy weather. |

If you are fishing shallow throw a 9" sluggo.
If you are fishing shallow fast water throw a 9" sluggo with a light jig .
if you are fishing deep throw a 9" sluggo with a light jig.
If you are fishing deep fast water throw a 9" sluggo with a heavier jig.
Every time you change your plug a fish may have swam by.

I heard that the water was flowing over the Derby Dam, today, and some big girls were caught up there.

| I saw a few keepers up there but nothing I would call a big girl. Reports are a lot of larger fish are being brought in from shore further down the river, especially after dark. But, I can't confirm that. |

| It wasn't quite as bad as a crowded party boat, but almost. Most of the folks practiced common courtesy and seemed to know how to fish in a crowd. The few that tangled often moved on to less crowded sections. |
