Heading For The Pond But Did Not Make It

Launched from the dirt ramp at the park of 97. One day a cop will give me a ticket for sure, but i drive to the launch. No action at all on the main river. Paddled across the river and drug the boat up the creak. It was much shallower than going up the quinabaug, and the return trip was dragging it back down stream. The small-mouth action was continuous. Most were about 10 inch, with a few 12 inchers in the mix. Two big small-mouth for the day were a 15 and 16 in a pool with a giant tree in the middle, a hundred yards below the dam.
