SHORELINE FISH

I headed off to a pond to get rid of the itch, as if that will ever happen. It was still too wet in the low spots to get the canoe out. That is just the way things are.

I hiked into a pond. There are about 6 places around the pond where I can cast, but the rest of the places have trees that just love to eat my flies. The way that I cast I can't really be near a tree without managing to hook it. That is one great advantage of being in the canoe.

Rick, another good article! One of my favorite tactics is fishing in under a foot of water, right on the bank. When they're up shallow they generally aren't finicky about the take! 75 keeper fish in one trip is amazing, though. What's the average size fish that you're keeping?

The gills ran from about 6 to 9 inches. Crappie were up to 13 incheslong.
