Got there around 10am left around 2 and all I got was 2 fish. and a few hits. the first fish was a pike of some weight and fight and represents my first Red River Pike. I know it hit my hex nyph but by the time I got her in the leader was lassoed around her body without the hook in her anywhere! After that the Red was Dead. So I did my old trick when fishing is bad get rid of the net. The next fish was my first Channel cat in 2 years as I haven't fished the Red since before the reconstruction (the floodway AND my arm)forgot how hard they pull, how long they can do it and how easy they are to deal with out of the water. Weird creature. Saw a few of these guys emerging.So a hint for you carp fans. That might be all of my fishing till I hit the east coast in a week and a ½.

Nice fish. Never understood why there are so few pike in that piece of the Red. Seems like an endless supply of food for them.

Think that pike broke me off last time I was out. Did you collect any flies from that specimen?
