Fenholloway River - 1-27-2018

Met Tim, Ed and Buddy at 6:45am on Saturday to give the Fenholloway River a try. I had read up on the history of the river and all the pollution of the river by the big paper mill that is in Perry. They have a long way to go in cleaning up the river. The water color was like coffee. The plan was to find cleaner water other than the dark water of the Fenholloway.
We started catching fish around the mouth of the Fenholloway. Ed and Buddy stayed in that general area, while Tim and I set off to explore creeks to the west. We found a nice creek with clear water and that's where we caught most of our fish. Ed and Buddy called it a day earlier than us. Something about the "no see'ms" eating them alive...lol!
On the way back to the ramp with Tim needing a couple more fish to hit the 100 mark, he managed to catch 2 snook! In the Fenholloway no less!
Ed caught 40 plus fish while Buddy landed 30 plus. Tim and I always keep track as a friendly challenge throughout the day. Tim beat me with 2 snook, 3 reds and 95 trout. I ended up with 2 reds and 84 trout. It wouldn't have been hard to get a nice limit for taking fish home in the clear water away from the Fenholloway. Too busy catching fish to take pictures, but here are a few.
