The early season continues to kick ass. Not realizing the Curd had been blown out just a day prior, we arrived at Eagle Pass to find Timbo's car. We also found 5 other cars, so we decided to seek out calmer waters. We got to the EP Spot to find the lot empty.
I started fishing the slow water by the access point without much luck. As I moved up, the rain started, and so did the fish. I landed a couple browns pushing 17", and a 16" by the head of the riffle.
Fishing a nice, deep run just upstream, I was able to land a couple more, before calling it a day. When I met up with Mark, he told me of his banner day, roughly 17 fish landed.
Reports from Timbo and his friend also indicated a spectacular haul. All hail the early season and the Curd river.

16-17" fish??? and multiple ones at that? come on...has the Curd turned into a different river since I left?
The fish have all grown up since you left.
i think someone needs to buy xan a new ruler...wait, don't you have one built into your net?
My net is no more. I broke it in half at the Brule.
Don't deny the piggy.
ah HA! so you really don't have an accurate way of measuring these supposed hogs. Now I see what the story is...
Shut yer pie hole! I fold my schlong in half and measure against that.
Or, I held them up to my rod and later measured that with a tape measure.
Either/or.
