TOURNAMENT RESULTS & FISHING NEWS

NEWS: The 2012 Top Rod Solo Trail kicked off its second season with the Dobyns Rods Open at Smith Lake.  There was a solid turnout of 34 fishermen on a damp foggy day in January. The sun never made an appearance, but air temps were in the low 60′s  and water temps were in the low 50′s. The recent rains have Smith Lake near full pool, but the clear water and full moon made it fairly tough on most of the fishermen.http://www.toprodtrail.wordpress.com/
