Before the cold snap I went back to my favorite spot (so far) on Sugar Creek. The water was clear and cold and just deep enough. I hit the old familiar places and then hiked on downstream farther than I ever have. I didn't find the big deep hole into which all the smallmouth have retreated (I have this image in my head of green depths with smallmouth stacked up like cordwood) but I enjoyed swinging a fly in new water. I'm not saying this was my last trip of the season, but it may be the last of 2017. We'll see what the weather does.
I would imagine it's getting a tad nippy back there.
