Republican River

The river was up to 600cfs this weekend compared to 60cfs on Thursday. Rain caused the river to raise. How was the fishing? As good as it gets!

Fishing near Orleans, Bryce Boehler of Lincoln caught ten catfish. Seven weighed four to six pounds. He fished for about two and half hours and spend most of his time putting Balkers on his rubber worm. The key to his success was finding a hole around some downed trees where a school of large catfish were located.

Meanwhile this writer was up the river fishing using shrimp and nightcrawlers as bait. A wiper, a number of channel cat, a few drum, and a flathead catfish were retrieved. The biggest only being three pounds.

Mr. Catfish, Michael Boehler, let the fishing exposition.

In the picture above is Elle June, Bryce's girl,and his catch of fish. Should be some good eating.

Padraig Harrington won the British Open today. Greg Norman faded in the closing round. It was reported Wednesday that Harrington may withdrawn because of problems with one of his thumbs. Must of healed after this writer took him off his fantasy team.

This writer will be attending Football 202 this next Friday thanks to a Father's Day/Birthday gift from my three girls, Sarah, Jessica, and Kim. That will be fun and I am looking forward to it!!!!
