    Default An Evening in the Tube

    DSCN0408.jpg


    Spent the evening in my waterborne recliner. Lost track of fish. as can often happen with Bluegill. Only two 1 1/2lb bass on the night. They were on and feeding on top enough to make me look good despite sloppy casting.



    Few Fish along the edges, with most fish coming from deeper water lily pad clusters.

    I've been getting into good-sized gills for a high-pressure lake lately. Purple & Starling soft hackles under a foam hopper.

    A dropper can be the ticket.

    Yup! Sometimes they go all gang-busters on the foam hopper. I mean, toss in a fly, and within 2 seconds, there's 10 - 20 'gills on it. I've had some 'gills just smash a size 8 Pink Pookie.

    Unfortunately the township decided to put out some weed-killer for the aquatic weeds (residents don't like a lot of weeds in the water), and the fishing has dropped off dramatically.

    Can't please everybody I reckon. They dredged one of my favorite lakes here this winter. Just about killed it.
