It's nice to see that the fish were in the North Fork branch because they were few and far between in the northern Parnell branch. That's as shallow as I've seen it. At times we were 25 yds from shore but in 6" of water. Some areas that normally hold fish were dry mud. We only put a handful in the barrel but we shot well and as always the food was great at El Reys and the company second to none.
