Whitetail Ridge COE - LaGrange, Ga (Apr 7-9)

It was a mostly pleasant 194 mile drive today with little wind but many more hills. Traffic was light on Rt. 27, but we hit a little construction on I-185 and again on 109 here in LaGrange. The temp here now is perfect with just a light breeze. We misjudged how busy it is here with kids out of school and barely got a site. Thank you Lord.
We fished from shore and Joan started things off with a bream on a brown bead-head wooly bugger. John got a slow start on the same fly, but then caught a bigger bream on a smaller chartreuse bead-head nymph.

Friday - It was very cloudy when we got up and whenever we thought about launching the kayaks, it got very dark and looked like rain. We settled for shore fishing and catching what we decided are pumpkinseed. They are yellow and green and very pretty fish.

Saturday - We found out this morning that a budget agreement has been reached and we don't have to pack up early. Good news!
The weather looks like a repeat of yesterday, but we got a break long enough that we thought we could launch the kayaks for a couple hours of fishing. It was perfect on the water, but even though we used proven flies in proven spots, we came up empty. One bright spot was that John tried his new anchor arrangement with great results. It also helps in determining water depths.
