Back in the Outdoors

When the heat is on, Go Wading

The last several weeks have been brutal. Hot weather takes a big bite out of the fishing. It’s not comfortable and the fish become sluggish.

One thing to do when it’s really hot outside, switch from fishing the lakes and ponds to river and creek fishing. Wading in moving water somehow just seems cooler and you’ll find more active fish.

A friend of mine, Ken O’Malley, aka Husker, did just that and spent a few hours on the Kankakee River.

“Hey Don, Here is a recap of this past week’s fishing.

Kankakee River is very wadeable right now. Water clarity is slightly stained, which is perfect. Working a Bandit 100 along current seams took the larger smallmouth. Pitching a TRD along current breaks took good numbers of bass. TTYL”

Give this a try. Even on a hot day you may just enjoy getting back into the outdoors.
