Default Elk River, North Alabama

Fished a half day out of anderson creek today. Caught 8 total, fish are on isolated wood close to spawning flats. Caught 4 on jigs, 3 on tiki sticks and 1 on a luhr jenson nipididdee at dusk. A lot of boaters out on a sunday, those water skiers must be dumb as bricks to try and ski in a river as loaded with floating logs as the elk. No mayflies as of yet, but with temps getting into or near the 90s it wont be long.

02, I've heard that you have them - can't say for sure.

Mayflies are a pretty famous type of bug that tends to hatch from I guess may to august depending on where you are. They hatch so thick along the banks of rivers that it becomes a mojor fishing event, with bream bass and especially trout gorging themeselves. So when the mayflies hatch, get out your flyrod and have fun.

BTW, lots of reports now of a hatch near decatur - gonna see for myself if I can tomorrow.

Dyas: I'm gonna try to take my boat down to UA this year - if I get a chance I'm sure I will be driving down through Marion to Millers Ferry.

Well WTL good luck, hope you catch a big one. I'll probably be back at the club in Marion in two weeks or so. Maybe by then the water will be a little clearer than it has been with all this rain.

If there any down there they are already hatched. A lot of them have already started dieing and falling out of the trees here in Atmore.
