I don't remember an August being this hot for this long before. Some of
the lakes around here are 14 feet low.

The one lake I sometimes fish (Travis) is currently at 649.48 and
its pool elevation is 681. (It rarely reaches 681, but that'll give you
some idea of how bad things are.) And the temp is supposedly in the
upper 80's now.

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.

Thanks, and the same to you.

So you gonna take one of your (many) 3-wts. to tussle with those
smallies? :-)
