Lehigh River 7/11/07

[RnRCircus]

My wife and I fished the Lehigh River & Canal near Sand Island 7/11/07 from about 6 to 8 AM. Fishing was very slow. We started on one of my favorite places on the river and between us all that was caught a dink smallmouth. I got it on a 4" Watermellon/Pearl Laminate Yum Dinger.

After fishing the river for about an hour we moved over to the canal where we both struck out. We did not notice tons of blue gills on their beds. I thought they would of of spawned out long ago, but I never really studied the mating habits of any panfish.

The river was clear and at a normal level for this time of and the canal was a little murky and choked with weeds.
