Wide open sky, that is. My wife and I had taken our son out for his first sunset and were enjoying the beautiful sky over Double Ditch when a guy pulled up in his car, got out and threw on a set of waders, and worked his way down the cliff to go a-fishing. He could hardly have picked a finer evening!

One thing that was remarkable was the low river level and its impact on the layout in the Double Ditch area. There were a lot of sandbars I hadn’t known about before, and it looked like a pretty interesting place to try to bring a boat through. Apparently it was a good opportunity to wade out into the Missouri and see what’s biting.
