Some CoWWs On The Ark Tailwater 12Oct18

What a difference a day makes - weather was really nice and ultimately hit 65°. We fished the Valco Ponds area first; unfortunately it was a bit crowded, especially in a key hole which fished very well for me yesterday - we couldn't even get in to try it. Flows were again 60cfs and the fall BWOs were in the air @ 9am and again at 4pm. We had a  good time, Jim caught quite a few and Scott was one with the river. We had some tasty beers (Trellis Buster & Tricerahops) and sammies for lunch. I did OK catching a 16", a 17" and an 18" male that looked keen in spring-like gold and red colors and even a kype jaw. Best bugs were the #22 RS2, Destiny's Child, and Silver Surfer. Despite low flows, the water is pretty turbid and pale green - fishing should improve as the sediment and fauna settle out. The camera had some fogging issues early.
