Montauk State Park 12/05/2004

Where: Montauk State Park Met up with Matt Tucker of Ozark Chronicles and Mark Kutcher also from the disscusion board. That area had recieved a lot of rain in the past week so the spring was pumping pretty hard. The water was up about six inches, but that was a decline from previous days. I had heard reports of it being up a foot. With the high flows the water was very cloudy which made site fishing difficult. The fish were also not holding in the same areas as the previous trip. It was also a lot colder with the morning temp below freezing. We had to occasionally dip our rods under to free ice from the guides. The day yeilded fewer fish than before but the fish of the day was a 20 inch rainbow Montauk above the bridge to the campground Riffles above campground bridge at Montauk. River is up 6in. to a foot.
