Well, I finally got out again. The trip did not start well as when I went to drop anchor, it did what a good anchor should do - sink. Unfortunately the line had come undone and bye bye anchor. There was just enough wind to keep me paddling and paddling on a steady basis, but I figured I’m out, let’s try. After putting down the spinning rod, I took up the 6 wt that I had not fished in a long time. Won’t be long before it gets used again! I tied on an olive wooly bugger. Good thing as I dropped the nippers somewhere underneath me! Note to self, secure nippers and forceps better! That fly took 1 yellow perch, 4 palm sized bluegill, feisty little buggahs, and 3 calico bass.
Finally got tired of the wind and sailed home. Good thing the WB worked as I had no way of removing it short of my teeth! Got to shore and looked under the seat, there are the nippers!
I’ll be going back soon!

Sounds like fun. Glad you got out.
