    Default Myakka River

    The Myakka River always has been one of my favorite places to fish. However, fishing has really been bad for the last two years. In fact, I haven't fished it in quite a while.

    I decided to try it again. I was surprised. I had to work hard for every fish, but I ended up with 25 bluegill, shellcracker and stumpknocker. Almost all were quality fish.

    Had one hit (a miss) on a popping bug. Things heated up when I changed to a No. 10 nymph. Got all my fish on it.

    The river is beautiful and a true reflection of Old Florida.

    It's only 10 miles from the house, so I plan to hit the river more often.

    This gator made me pick another route:
