AT LAST BACK IN THE CREEK

AFTER WEEKS OF RAIN I FINALLY GOT BACK IN THE CREEK.  ACTUALLY SURPRISED TO FIND THE CREEK CLEARED UP LIKE IT WAS.   STOPPED ON MY WAY BACK FROM CHURCH AND LOOKED OVER THE BRIDGE AND WAS SHOCKED TO SEE ROCKS.   GOT IN THE CREEK ABOUT  2 IN THE AFTERNOON AND MY FIRST CAST LANDED A 9 - 10 INCH SMALLY.  MY NEXT CAST GOT A NICE CHUB AND MY 4TH CAST LANDED YET ANOTHER NICE SMALLY.   I KNEW I WAS IN FOR A GOOD DAY.   GOT 23 IN ALL AND CAUGHT 2 SMALL PICKERAL ON CONSECUTIVE CASTS.  SAW MY FIRST BLUE HERON OF THE YEAR AND THE ONE BALD EAGLE FLEW RIGHT OVER MY HEAD IN THE CREEK.   NOT TO DO AN OLD JOHNNY CARSON LINE BUT...............HOW HOT WAS IT........IT WAS SO HOT TODAY I WAS SWEATING WHILE WADING IN THE CREEK AND THATS HOT.
