fishing the Whitewater River

Nick and I fished the Whitewater yesterday.  The weather was beautiful; the fishing was tough.  The water temp was cold and I think this had something to do with the low activity.  We threw everything we had and we were frustrated by the lack of results.  The water was off color, but I do not think that was the only reason for the slow day.  I think smallies like a classic hot and humid Cincinnati summer.  This weather might be great for your backyard cookout, but not the best for fishin'.  I tied on a red & black Beldar and that saved my day with a couple of smallies that liked what I was stripping.
