Spring is waning, the water is warming but the rain keeps coming. Catching a break in the weather and flooding, I headed down for a quick overnight fishing trip to the Red River Gorge. I camped on Indian Creek and then fished the shallow pools and found an amazing section containing multiple rainbows laid up in the current. Fishing for fish you can see and then catching the fish you didn’t see is such a blast. In some of the GoPro footage you can actually hear my heart thumping in my chest. What a perfect weekend. Not too hot, not too cold. No rain. Just sun and cool water. After playing with the trout for hours more than I had intended, I left road 9B and headed over to the Gladie Visitor Center. I know a few spots along the Red River there that have always delivered bass and I wasn’t let down on this visit. Smallmouth, Rock Bass and Bluegill were on the bite. Hoping for more and larger smallmouth on the next visit. I’m hoping to hike the Red River upstream this summer and see what I can get into. Next month, I’m headed to the Green River, so stay tuned.
