We floated the Buffalo River Saturday From Maumee to Dillards Ferry. There was alot of runoff from up river and it was super muddy. Level was 5.5 ft according to the outfitter. Above 6 it's experienced paddlers only. Fishing was terible on the main river. I slid up spring creek to the clear line and it was fish on first cast! Caught 14 before I was forced to move on down with the rest of the group. We stayed on the spring creek about 4 miles up stream. Caught lots of spots, smallies, longear and Ozarks

We'll leave after I catch one more....well that one didn't count! |

Thanks!
I'm anxious to try my camera on some underwater shots.
So far, the only time it's been wet, was when I tripped.
Where's that flyrod? |

Nice pics...Looks like fun.
Too bad it was muddy, but it's impossible to know what the conditions are going to be when you have to plan a trip in advance. Still more scenic than anywhere around here!  |
My rod and my reel, they comfort me... |

Awesome pics! I love that place. We stayed in Ponca last time we were there. The boulders in the creek bend in pic #5 is a lot like the places I would catch fish when I was there last time. I am pretty sure that the fish in the last pic is an Ozark Bass. I caught one while I was there amd it looked exactly like what you have in your pic. Thanks for sharing! It sounds like you had a really good time!

I had two comments I'll start out with the bad and end with the good - First off those reels are pretty bad looking, probably the worse looking flyreels I've ever seen!!!  as far as the good news those are some cool pics!! LOL Looks like fun and thanks for posting the pics! I alway enjoy looking at pics of different places. |

I know...I know. I left three fly rods back at camp because I was afraid of loosing or breaking them on the new yaks maiden voyage. I took my Falcon & Browning ultralights on the float portion of the trip and fished my 2wt around the camp area.
Notice the minnow following the longear

Casio EX-G1
It's waterproof in 10 ft of water for up to an hour, freeze proof down to 14 deg F & you can drop it from 7 foot without hurting it. It also has some cool time delay fetures. It is super thin so it fits in your pocket easily. So far it was a great investment of $170

Looks like I need to do a little exploring north of the border! |
