Kayak Fishing: Better Fishing at Stick Marsh
o a few weeks ago I went out to the Stick Marsh, my first time since the drawdown, and it was a bit of a struggle. I didn’t catch many fish, and the ones I did catch were small. I wanted to go back out before I made any rash comments or assumptions about the effects of the drawdown, and I am glad I did, because I had a good outing there this weekend.
