Looks like we will have a high water Spring this year which is going to hurt the old pocketbook.   I have already had to cancel a lot of trips in the next few weeks.  The lake levels are up a few feet and with all the rain we have been getting it's going to take a while to get them down.  The corps of engineers is running two units around the clock, but the lake level isn't moving due to all the run-off from the rains entering the lake.

     Fishing can be pretty good on one unit on the Little Red, but two full geneartors is futile and its not really that safe to be on the water when it is that high.  The story is pretty much the same for the time being on all the tailwaters in the area right now.  Hopefully some good fishable water will develop on one of them soon.

     Until then what to do?  I guess I'll go poking around in North Mississippi on some of the sand bottomed rivers and play with bass soon.  I may build another flyrod soon also.  I just finished a Sage VT2 9' 4wt last week.

     Of course there are always flies to twist up... but it's not healthy for me to do that all the time.  I may just need to brew some more beer and drown the sorrows of the high water blues.
