Fishing Report - St Joe River August 2nd 2015

Had a chance to fish for a few hours yesterday.  Fishing was surprisingly good. The water, although low, has not dropped considerably in the last few weeks, and water temperature is still decent in the morning.  I found most fish in the upper end of the riffles, in about 1 to 2 feet of water, where oxygen levels are high.  Water in these areas is moving fast so fish don't have time to be selective.  I was using a #18 St. Joe Special for most fish.  Ended up catching 15 or so with the largest at about 14 inches, although I was unable to hookup on two or three larger fish.  All in all, still good fishing on the Joe, but they are not in the deeper pools, fish are seeking cooler water with more oxygen.  Hit the riffles.
