Fishing reports have been mixed at best. Fish are taking a variety of offerings from Black Stoneflies fished dry, to soft hackle Hare's Ear's underneath. Those fishing wets and nymphs are doing the best and this will hold true with the cold front for at least a few more days.

Shad are in the river and some have even been seen in Deer Creek...but not a lot. There have been some good days fishing the Susky already and next week when it warms a bit it will only be better.
