Stopped down at the creek before work and was quite surprised at the clarity.

I must say that I am very pleased with the Kilbucks' water.

I believe it's time to construct a nice visual report on how she has bounced back

from this event.......

Kilbuck 3/30/15

3/21/15

Outings - #3, #4, #5
PRY12 - 6.90 - 6.45
Clarity - Clear, 3ft +
Catches - 0, 0, and 0

        Looking for that 1st smallmouth of the year. No luck as of yet.

Air temps have been running near 50 to mid 50's, with overnight temps

dipping back into the low 30's or even lower. The overnight temps seem to be keeping the water temp in the low 40's. Once the water temps can reach near 50, the smallmouth bite will turn on.

I got out before work, fishing from shore, on 3/18 and 3/20. On Saturday I met up with Jim 

for a lower Kilbuck wade. It was nice to step foot in water once again. The creek looks nice and we found what seems like should be damn good areas once the water temp warms up.

Stopped down at the creek for a couple hours before work. Worked a tube close to bridge pylons and also brush/strainers/log jams/downed trees, get the idea? No hits/taps/bumps/tugs, no catches.
Water looked good. It was stained, but not a heavy stain. Levels were a tad high but dropping.
Bugs buzzed around my head.

Let it be known that on this date (3/14/15) the 2015 search for Brutus did begin.
Hit the Kilbuck and Kish, fishing from shore, with no luck.
Water levels are running a tad high. Tossed a float and fly rig and then switched to a tube.
