It's rained a good bit here in Alabama over the last two months. Enough so that the river level is staying way too high and the fields and creeks are all flooded. There have been a few opportunities to look, but it seems like the trips are getting fewer and farther between. The rain is, in turn, a good thing. Once that water does go down there'll be plenty to look at for sure. Regardless, I'm getting tired of looking the same spots. I think it's time to take a trip up to Ohio where my father's side of the family lives. They've got a natural creek in their backyard and the Ohio and Little Miami Rivers besides. One day I plan on heading out west to get a couple good hunting trips in, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.  Anyone ever get tired of their local spots and yearn for something new and fresh?
