I found hungry fish in my new home in Northern Mississippi. There are four days of rain in the forecast starting tomorrow. Next week I am essentially on house arrest due to work. Who knows if the fish will still be there in two weeks when I get back? Yesterday afternoon I got off work a couple hours early, grabbed my fly rod, and hit the water. I don't know if I will be able to find them again.

Although I caught over a dozen white bass, the highlights were two 14+" white bass that fought wonderfully. After hauling in smaller fish it is fun to hook something that makes a strong run immediately, making you check your coils of line to make sure you don't get it caught around your feet, and wondering if this is really a white bass that you just hooked. I almost put both of them on the reel. They were a blast, and if they are gone in a couple weeks, I'm going to miss them!
I'm hoping to get out Saturday, but the weather forecast doesn't look good. After that it will be a couple weeks. My recent success has whet my appetite, and it is going to be a long, difficult wait.
