Fall River May 2017

Postby stanbery » May 29th, 2017, 9:13 pm

Just got back on Thursday and Ray and I had a blast but the fishing was a little on the slow side for us since the grass just started to grow in the river and the bows scare easy with no cover to hide in.
The views do make up for it.

I see why you guys like to go there every year. Nice fish
