Tried South Branch

 Had a half hour after sunset the other day on my favorite stretch. The water quality was good, but the stretch hasn't been producing well last two years or so. I didn't get a hit. Soaked a Senko and that worm is irresistible to summer smallies. 

Would have been nice for the fly rod. Calm. But I just didn't have time to gear up with that.

By the way, any of you who get the blog by email, the Feedburner service is being discontinued. Just Google Litton's Fishing Lines to check in. I looked into acquiring the emails of those who use the service, so I could at least notify you and possibly continue having the posts sent to you, but I failed to find anything.
