Fishing the river Nov. 12, 2010

Went out in the morning and hit 4 or 5 spots for trout, wind 25 kts, water 55f, water clean. We fished 2 hours and caught about 10 fish, no keepers.
Fished a couple docks from 4: 30 to 6 pm looking for pups. Fished with gulps and crab, nothing.

The Wind

The wind is still blowing 20 plus knots. I'm off this weekend so it will blow until at least Monday. Maybe I can get out on the river some and see if the larger trout have moved in.

Duck to Kill Devil Hills

Spent Wednesday thru Sunday on the the outer baks and it was blowing very hard. It was fishable Thursday and Friday but the were only catching small trout so I did not bother. Casey fished Sunday in the Wind and caught some small trout in Long Creek. Maybe this wind will stop blowing sometime.
