A few photos from the past few days. With a setting like this, fickle fishing is not really a concern.
This used to be a more active floodplain. Now it has given way to a lush, grassy, semi-wooded setting.It appears that much of the riparian forest here is undergoing a radical change in vegetation communities. The lack of regular, high flows is probably precluding the estblishment of seedlings. The result - the remaining trees are growing older with little replacement.The first day of April and the beginning of a quarter mile long riffle through verdant oak woodlands. Who cares if the fishing is so-so this afternoon!This was about as close to the water as I got here. Didn't feel the urge to wet a line - too many other things to be consumed in.
