Cataco Creek Report 9 Mar

Got on the water late around 0900 and fished until 1400 with James. Only had 9 keepers but they were nice. Using float and fly around wood. The wind was awesome and made it hard to hold the boat with the current and all. Black and chartreuse was the menu dejour, 4' down. Fish aggressively pulled the cork under when they took it. Water was slightly dingy and was 55.6 when we started and got to 58.7 as the day progressed. Black crappie were starting to color up and the whites had not started. The girls were full of eggs but not mushy yet. If we get more warm days, I believe they'll hit the banks and be gone quickly again this year like last year.

Can't bet that Bod, I love to watch that float go down.

Good job and report

I love fishing Cataco when the water is down, thanks for sharing.

Great catch, nice report! Thanks

I love to catch them on a float and fly rig. Watching the float go down makes me feel like a kid again.

Good job

Was you fishing upstream or down from Sharps Ford boat launch ?

We went upstream from Sharps Ford

Good report! Glad yaw caught some fish.

Well done! I was thinking of trying cotaco in the morning, but not sure now with all the rain that came through....that creek can get really muddy really quick.

Good to see you and James got a good mess in all the wind. I know it had to be rough. Love that float and fly.
