I thought about casting to them...

It's getting that desperate here...

It was wet today, threatening thunderstorms, with high muddy water. I went out twice - once at lunch to the bridge where too many people dump too much stuff, looking for bones and smallies, and later to the little creek where I can usually reliably find at least a trout or two. Under the bridge was pretty hopeless, though as I was standing shin deep along the bank two huge carp mucking in the muck appeared out of the brown waters, nearly ran into me, then kept moving along. But the junk here and there in the water annoyed me enough that I only lasted about a half hour. My regular little creek was somewhat better. Rain was coming down and the storm was picking up so, so was the water volume, but it still looked fishable. I tried a medium sized stimulator (in spite of the rain there were a few bugs in the air) but quickly regressed to swinging wollybuggers and muddler minnows. Caught a little small mouth and these other silver things that come out when it's too warm - never bothered to learn what they were. They were pathetically small, thus the cows...nothing else to report...just wetness.
