9-20-08, Goose Creek canoe float

Yep...I floated the Goose in my canoe with Dave Post.

Dave and I put in at Kephart around 0650 this morning. It was a bit nippy (54) but we were comfortable.

We both started by throwing top water. Dave was throwing a fly and I was throwing buzz bait.

Half way down the creek and we had a skunk going on until Dave caught a smallie. I caught a couple micro smallies and Dave did the same until we came on to a small creek on the west side of Goose. Dave landed a large mouth bass....

We then waded a bit at the mouth....

but all we got was this little guy (on a fly)!

As we paddled back to the Landing, we would stop every once in a while. I couldn't catch a cold!! Dave hooked in to a few more fish including this nice channel cat.

It was a great day to be out but the fishing was very slow. We were off the water by 11:15 AM.

Did you attempt any site fishing? If so, did you find the fish to be quite skittish?


If it were easy, they'd call it catching!

We saw very few fish! Out on the river, the water moves at a good clip and it's deeper but I still never saw a fish. The equinox/full moon has something to do with it.
