First time out this spring

I finally managed to take a couple of hours to go fishing this evening. The temperatures have been in the high 70s/low 80s so I figured there should be some action. I took my 3wt to chase bream in the lake I live on. The fishing was CRAZY. My son always asks me "But how many did you catch dad?", so I usually start off counting fish, but tongiht, I quit counting at 30 fish. I would guess the total was between 50 and 60 fish. The crazy thing was that 2/3rd of the fish were bass and they averaged between 2 1/2 and 3 pounds with a couple of larger ones mixed in. There were several stretches where I would catch five fish on five casts. I even tossed my fly over the side of my kayak a couple of times to sort out my line and I'd have a fish on when I got ready to cast. This lake gets very little fishing pressure and has a very healthy fish population (especially large bream), but this was an extraordinary day and a great way to start the season. The downside is, that the rest of the season is all downhill from here:(

Sorry no photos, but honest it really happened.

OK..... ;-)
Spent the day here chipping and clearing brush.
We FINALLY got some winter rain. Enough to raise and dirty most waters and definitely fill most reserviors.
May go play with some rubber trout tomorrow or snoop out a couple warmwater ponds for this year. :-)
Sounds like you had a grand day. Big bream are special fish, for sure.
