Fishing Muddy Waters - Chickahominy

Fished Chickahominy mid-morning yesterday to be able to get a real fishing report posted. Parked at Access Point A and walked out to the water's edge....then out another 100 yards or so to find water which was nearing knee deep. I would say that the visibility was 2 inches, however, that may be a bit generous. Or a lot generous. Half-heartedly, I made a cast, launching the ol' standard brown Woolly Bugger, and began the slow strips. I figured I'd give it 20-30 minutes, but the poor visibility had me thinking 5 min may be sufficient! However, on cast #3 the line came tight, and it wasn't weeds. A strong fish was landed after a couple of minutes, a bright, red-stripped  beauty which measured a true 20" according to the mark on my fly rod. Decided to give it another 40 minutes. I saw one fish roll, bait anglers leave, and the breeze pick up. Not another bump. So....I know there are at least 2 fish in there. May try it again in a week or so. Not sure it'll clear up a whole lot. I will warn those wading to beware that there are some soft spots, and sinking in above the ankles and having boots stuck when fishing solo a couple hundred feet from the shoreline when no one is around gives an ominous feeling for a bit. But seeing that the water has already dropped about 3-4" in the past couple of weeks, I didn't think I"d be stuck there much more than a month or two at the most....
