Visited the tailwaters Saturday before lunch. The Corps is still dumping the lake (1960 cfs) and this morning it's down to 5.6 ft above summer pool. Since the current was high in the creek I found a ditch flowing in with calmer water. Caught lots of the usual small crappie and one small spotted bass that looked fat with eggs ready to spawn. Saturday evening my daughter and I kayaked the upper end of Sugar Creek cove on Monroe. We saw lots of turtle, ducks and several fisherman on the shore. A large beaver surprised us sunning on the shore when it rocketed into the water. Sunday afternoon we took the kayaks to Fairfax SRA and paddled around the point. We noticed 3 geese nesting on high ground. The gnats or midges were annoying when we were close to shore; I guess it's time to start using the vanilla spray. The weather was great both days.
