A nice, relaxing day. Slept in and took my time making breakfast. Decided I'd do a layover there and I headed out to fish Eddy Falls again. As I was approaching it I ran into the Ohio guys from the night before. They had just got done fishing there and hadn't had any luck. I was almost there, so I decided to give it a shot. 8 smallmouth all less than 10 inches and I was beginning to get discouraged.

I ate lunch, explored the falls a bit more, and then I threw a few more at 'em before I left. The hour break paid off. Caught about 7 more smallies, all good eating size. Kept a few as evidence just long enough to grab a picture, then released all but one.

Headed back to camp for dinner. Did some reading, made an awesome fire and called it a night.

Hanging at the Knife site.

Few smallies at Eddy Falls.
