    I’m in Bett. Lots of spots here to catch channels if you have a boat. Not many flats here over 5 to 10lbs unless you fish the wapsi.

    Wapsi here is a stream right now. About 15 feet wide and a foot deep. Its also all sand/mud, no rock at all. The holes right now are about 3′ deep. I honestly doubt any fish could survive this drought. Up river and downriver there might be some holes/stretches deep enough to hold some fish in this heat but not here. In fact, this time last year I duck hunted the wapsi in knee high boots. Walked right across it no problem. Its about the same as last year.

    The wapsi here is known for flatheads and that is about it. There are a couple holes where you can catch SMALL pike, bluegills, crappie, and some channel cats but they aren’t anything to talk about.

    I’m going to make the 12 hr round trip to get some sturgeon fishing in this weekend and might pull the boat back depending on how long they talk me into staying down here.
