Top Water has fired off on the Roanoke

 Although the fishing has not been as stellar as years past with spectacular numbers, a bad day on the Roanoke is better than most days on other rivers.

When you can get dozens of topwater bites, you don't have to catch as many to have a lot of fun with them.  The water is low and warming fast and the motherload is due to arrive in Weldon anytime.   For now, we'll take what we're getting and smile while the 100 fish days are very close.
