Despite the wind we fished awhile from the bank. Joan caught a nice shellcracker and a smaller bream, while John was limited to a small bream.
Thursday - We slept well and woke up to clouds. Storms are due in later so we are going to take it easy today.
Later - Looks like most of the storms are through. Nothing severe thankfully.
Friday - We woke up to cooler temp and still windy, but beautiful sunshine. After oatmeal breakfast, we walked about a mile down to the tailwater of the dam to fish. There were a line of fishermen along the wall near the dam fishing and we saw a few caught, mostly by one man. We tried various flys that we roll casted out into the current but without any hookup. We figured that about 30 fishermen accounted for 5 fish in 3 hours. Not real good odds.
Later - We had a beautiful evening sitting by the fire.
Saturday - We took our coffee walk back up the hill and to the main road. We passed a home with georgeous azalea bushes in the front yard. After bacon and egg breakfast, we fished for awhile and caught nine nice bream. It would have been enough for lunch except we did not bring a way to keep them. No cleaning this way. We fished again in the evening and caught a few more. Later we sat by a fire again and enjoyed a remarkable sunset. The best yet. Tomorrow is moving day. Next stop is Florence Marina SP on Walter F George Lake near Omaha, Ga.
