Galen St. Bridge Charles river Fishing Report

Charles River

Went out around 1pm. The sky was overcast and it even rained on me a bit. But that cleared up around 2pm.

The water just below the damn was fast and dirty (foamy). I fished white curl tail grub on a 1/8th oz jighead, a Johnson silver spoon with a curl tail teaser and a red colored bomber a crank bait in a crawdad pattern.

I moved up to above the dam crossed the river and did not see any signs of fish except a pair of cormorants swimming up river and even they where not getting any.

Then I moved on to the Purgatory cove area and fished the pipe...no luck there either but I did get in a decent amount of time to work on my lure presentation skills so I am pleased about that.

It looks like the water level has improved over last year around this time, so I hope that this spot will once again become a productive area to fish again.
