Low Water Smallmouth On Sugar Creek

CFS is cubic feet per second and on Saturday, July 30th Frank Terkhorn and I headed north to Sugar Creek where the CFS was running at a measly 98; truth is it was the lowest flow and water level we had ever fished ‘the creek’ and I was eager to see how it would all […]
