I have been wading the river for the past week or so for a few hours at a time. Fished about 5 different spots, some fast shallow water and some deeper slower water with some grass. Each time out I caught less fish than the first, but the fish were getting bigger. Managed to get over 20 smallies my first time out, but not many over a pound. In the faster water I had better luck casting across or downstream and bringing the bait back up, hopping it rather fast. In the slower water best approach seemed to be swimming it downstream or around and through the grass. Best fish was just under 3# and it came from an eddy formed by a rather large rock in 2' of water. Pretty much every fish came from behind a rock, log or some form of current break. I had much better luck in the faster water and was able to cover alot more ground. Went fishing with a buddy who was throwing a rooster tail, caught more fish than my tube but of smaller size. I also launched the canoe from kings island and went .5 miles down stream and about a mile up river. Water gets moving pretty fast the further upstream you go, I had good luck just positioning the boat in a pocket and casting into riffles. Gets a little hairy paddling over the rocks to get past the old dam but the ride back down was fun, only caught a few up that way. I tryed some spinnerbaits, phoebes, and senkos but almost every fish came on a smoke/red flake tube (also tryed black/blue, G pumpkin, watermelon, and brown. smoke was a clear favorate) . 1/8 tube jig for slow water and 1/4 for fast, worked so well I ran out and can't seem to remember where I bought em. The fish would slam it hard, even the small guys with mouths barely bigger than the tube would crush it and run down river. I also managed to bang off my transducer mount on a rock, so looks like I'll be going back to in hull with the next one. One of the larger ones, don't mind the blood fish was hooked through the tongue and swam off fine. [img:5c528c68ec]http://a.imageshack.us/img130/985/img00059h.jpg[/img:5c528c68ec]
