Upper 80's and no more fish to be found!

~CHAGRIN RIVER PARK WADING~

Looking real hard today as I expected the week-end warriors to be back at the 9-5 grindstone, and all I see in the water is kids, adults, dogs, and no fish! From the Soccer Fields on the Chagrin, all the way to Squires, and no fish......temps in the 80's has a big part in this I'm sure, hell I even hit a tributary and I saw nothing there as well!

A few suckers, but they were standing still and casting at shadows! ha ha my dry attempt at some humor. But these guys really were hardly moving, saying; "If you move, it'll scare 'em, and if you scare 'em, it's harder to snatch them on the line!" WTF was I hearing? Something out of my reach anyways and I just smiled as I walked slowly away from the 2 guys with the cool custom made Dungarees, and continued my hunt for Silver, or Chrome, the stuff we all chase in our dreams.......THE BIG ONE!

Hopefully with the rain overnight and tomorrow, we may see one more push of fish but don't count on it. I'll keep you posted on a regular basis with some of the other shit I find amusing to myself and maybe share it with you.....Stay Safe and Fish On!
