A little late with my follow up report but here goes anyway.
Fished in the river the first day (10-01-03) and was unable to even muster a bite. Drifted crawlers with a little lead, drifted neon power baits and tossed spinners.
Went to the mouth at dawn on the second day and tossed spinners and spoons. Again no bites, no action.
All help was still appreciated. The Brule is a beautiful river and despite the tough luck this year I will be back next year to give it a go.
By the way on the weekend we hit our usual North Shore spots and action was slow there too.
