Trout bite ended too quickly for us

Imgp0360 Paris Horton with our first and best trout of the day

We started out like a house afire, but the rain put the fire out pretty quickly.  We started the morning with a trout that pushed the six pound mark and another five-pounder on the first drift.  Both fish hit a bone She Dog in three feet of silted up water.

We then ran a few single gulls before the bottom dropped out,  The rain and lightning  eventually slid on by, but it blew hard all day long.  We made an unscheduled run back to The River Rat, got something to eat, and headed back out once the rain stopped.  We spent the remainder of the afternoon in the bayous catching and missing a few flounder.

The water still looks pretty darn good considering all of the rain the past couple of days.  The daily showers have been scattered, but intense.  I heard that the water looked bad on the La. shoreline, but we ran over there today and it must have cleared overnight because it looked good to me.  We were trying to beat a southeast wind, but the storm ran us off before we could get started.
