Made my first trip to Franconia this afternoon. Wanted to check out the river levels and temps first hand. Water was up a little. maybe even a little low for this time of year. Temps where running in the upper 40s to low fifties. There is a little debrie in the water right now but not to bad.
As far as fishing we didnt have any luck finding them. Thought maybe we could find some white bass but nothing going yet. If I get over there again before the opener I might try farther down river by the apple river. That area can draw in the whites early in the season.
2 week to go for opener. I plan on getting the trolling rods in order and spend some time long lineing the Osceola area. Aways did like the way my jon boat looked with four long rods in rod holders hanging of the side of the boat. Did I mention only 2 weeks to go.
