Well, the search for fish (larger than an inch) in the Brule continues. We got up there on Saturday night and hit the Kro Bar. $20 in pull tabs yielded nothing. We hit the river at 5:30am on Sunday. Due to the constant rain from the day before, the river was high, fast and brown.

We didn't fish much there, and went back to the Kro to regroup.

After some biscuits and gravy, we decided to leave town and hit Poplar Creek on the way back. Large chunks of ice were scattered throughout the stream, and even parts of the river bed were frozen. It has potential, but it might take a month or so. Despite the ice, we fished anyways and didn't catch a thing.

I'm not convinced that there are any winners in the Cro Bar pull tab bin.

Correction, I pulled one that was worth a dollar but left it on the table for the good looking waitress.
