The action has been hot, literally, on the Red River on the TX & Oklahoma borders. Hundreds of fish can be caught, at the right time, and at the right
place. It's especially fun in the dark before sun up time, throwing big topwaters. The fish are extremely shallow, on the prowl in riffles above large
pools.
Right before sun up, they start to mave back to deeper water, for safety.
After sun up, you have to wade out to deeper water, and usually I have only been catching dinks after that. But you can catch as many as you want!!
The fish appear to be rather skinny, due to the fact there are so many fish in the river right now, and not enough food for them to feed on. This will continue, until either they find another food source down river, are harvested, or they start releasing more water, which supplies an abundance of food.
Still a lot of fun, and a cool way to spend the day!!!
