Went up to fish gunpowder today. The rumors are true... water is deathly low but very cold. I wet waded and it was way too chilly for that. Didn't do very well... had a few lookers but nothing else. Used a little cricket or a stimulator, sometimes with an ant behind it. Didn't see much activity from the fish or insects but it was a beautiful day and got about 20ft away from a huge heron.

On a brighter fishing note I have been fairing well at Loch Raven with the bass the past few weeks. Doesn't seem like this summer is hitting the reservoir as bad as in years past. I've also rented a boat everytime and that helps emmensely. Of course this is with conventional tackle. I love the new chatterbaits but so do the pickerel!
