Good to see y’all out together

[@SamanthaW157]

So much fun thanks for taking me out there ❤

[@walkeroutdoorsadventures8521]

I had a great time too.

When the water is higher and there is more rain more food washes in the river and the fish are full and don't bite as well.

[@arthurriechert6473]

When the water is low the fishing is better because the fish become more concentrated in the deep pools in the river.

[@hikewithmike4673]

ha!....I know exactly where you are been there many times!

[@walkeroutdoorsadventures8521]

We usually go there every year during the fishing and frogging season. It’s nice to be able to drive to the river.

[@Lawrence-sl6xn]

Wish I could have been there

[@walkeroutdoorsadventures8521]

It’s open for a few more weekends. We can ease back out there.

[@arthurriechert6473]

We used to live near Norris Lake in East Tennessee and our fish up here are a lot lighter in color than ya'll's fish? Your bluegill and catfish are so dark colored? I guess they all eat the same though?

[@walkeroutdoorsadventures8521]

They are definitely darker when I catch them in the swamps. There’s not a lot of sunlight hitting the water in the swamps and the water tends to be more muddy. I believe that’s why they are darker.
