2013 Fishing Reports
November 17 - Wes and Doug wanted to fish for shoal bass even though it was late in the season. It turned out to be a good idea as the shoalies were very cooperative.
May, June & July - Normally this is some of my busiest fishing time on the Flint. All the rain has made things difficult - when the river has dropped and the water clears up, the fishing has been excellent.
