Has this year been as big a wash for fishing for you as it has for

*sometimes*)

I don't remember an August being this hot for this long before. Some of
the lakes around here are 14 feet low. I am looking forward to fishing
Crooked Creek for smallmouth during the first week of October. A friend
has access to about five miles of private water. the Ozarks sound
pretty good to me right now. Enjoy your trip to a cooler place.
