Water temps ranged from 65-69 degrees depending on how far back into the creeks I went. It was an over cast day with air temps topping out at 65 degrees with a solid 10 mph wind all day. I covered a ton of water and caught 20+ that day, but only managed to catch four keepers with one being a kicker.
