My suggestion is to pray for rain. Its low everywhere right now, not to mention some rain would help move some new fish into the system.

Hey Jake How has the Reiter been treating you lately ? I haven't had much luck out there lately fish seam to have lock jaw right now . Your right about some rain a couple good days of rain on the days that I work would be nice put the sky back in shape so I could have a couple good days of fishing on my days off. I was out exploring the Green in hopes I could find a good fishing hole. I didnt even see one person fishing. Doesn't look like i'm going to get much info on this subject.:-$

Reiter- Has done alright up until last week. Went up there 3 times last week and didnt see a single fish caught on either side. Just too low and clear.

The last three times I have been at Reiter nothing going on either. I accidently snagged one in the gut it was a little one it ran like hell first time I foul hooked one I could only imagine if it was a big one it would have took my whole spool. I heald the little guy up for a little while and then he took off back into the river.

No doubt they are there you can see em in most places. I have tried throwing damn near everything I got at them with the exception of night crawlers. My friend picked one up there last week on a spinner. Were you fishinhg the tail end or the upper end. I have gone down low on the highway side to the top end of the faster water I have seen fish jumping just not biting. Nice work getting one not a real easy task right now. :fish:

I was right across from you last thurs. around 8 pm thats when I foul hooked one I had been there since 6am only one bite around 1 lost it because the wind was blowing and to much slack in line I noticed my line stop and straighten up went to set hook it jumped and spit out . I was pretty dissapointed that I let it get away 7 hours no bites then i missed my chance next time though I was on the bigrock by creek.

Fishing in the rain just never works for me, it just turns the fish off. But for everybody else rain is a great time to fish. Dont know why, rain just doesnt work for me.
