6:15-7:40 pm this afternoon. Water was up about 2'-2.5' from Wednesday. Current was ripping, but the water was clear. It was balmy and very pleasant. Lots of folx taking casting practice, but I only saw one shad landed. I had to concentrate to keep on the bottom with 1.5 oz of lead, but never got so much as a nibble. No fish today.

I forgot to update the tackle I use at the river in Cromwell, my UL just doesn't cut the muster throwing 1+oz of lead.
Tackle: Penn 4400 SS spinning reel, mated to a 6'0" Ugly Stik Med-Heavy action, Elite one-piece rod.

Terminal Tackle: 1.5 oz drail, over 3' of 8# flouro leader, and a hammered silver orange/yellow, and a yellow/chartreuse willow leaves.

I expect it to pick up over the weekend, especially with the beautiful forecast. Tight lines!
