This morning I got up early and headed to a local creek in Arkansas. I went further up stream that I have ever been. Flow is really low now (~20 cfs) and makes it ideal for using finesse tactics while wade fishing. I used the Yamaga Blanks Blue Current 71 TZ Nano with Daiwa Luvias 2004, spooled with 3.3 lb YGK Ambercord Ester line. I can’t say that I like this particular Ester line. The Triple surgeon knot to the 2-lb leader line was a constant weak point. I did not have this issue with the Orange Varivas Ester line. I wish they made the organs Varivas line bigger than 2.3-lb. Despite having some line issues, the Blue Current laid the smack down on the fish. I had another 50 fish creek day with some quality creek Spotted Bass and Largemouth Bass. Several quality bass spit the hook. I was getting a good hook set, it sure what was happening. I ended up catching 6 species (Largemouth Bass, Spotted Bass, Shadow Bass, Longear Sunfish, Green Sunfish, and Bluegill). The most productive bait was the Niko hellgrammite. I will be bring a small canoe next time to get past the pool that stoped me. Can’t wait!
