Plugged the South Branch

Matt and I fished the South Branch Califon northward, catching nothing. We stayed warm, out of the wind, never needed gloves, though it never got out of the mid-30's. According to Shannon's online, water temp was 39.

So we worked our way from the back of a stretch into its belly, figuring the trout had settled into the depths. At another spot, I kept reeling in snagged leaves from depths eight or nine feet down. I did consistently work the plug--a Rapala Countdown an inch-and-a-half long--at bottom. Must've got snagged more than a dozen times, but I never lost it.
