A slow comeback

The Slough, as its called, actually looked alive again.  There were a few bugs, an occasional fish that rose, and the river bottom had some moss and weeds again.  Nowhere near what it was, but maybe, just maybe, it will return sooner than later.  It definitely fished different than before.  It's a whole new creek, but in the same place.  Narrower.  Bends are approached from opposite sides of the river than before.  Holding areas have changed.  Casts are shorter.  At least the fish are still spooky and wary.
