Yesterday I had the chance to fish at a local pond for about 4 hours. I ended up catching about 50 small bass and bluegill combined. Most of the fish came on a #8 black wooly bugger. How is the fishing in your area? What are you catching them on?
G’mornin’ neal david50…the fishing is pretty good here around the Umpqua Rivers and lately i’ve been running around looking for the smallies and finding them. Din’t go yesterday but i went Thursday and though it was really windy i hooked several and one of them might have gone 1.75 to 2.00 lbs. This past week i’ve gone several times and to a different part of the drainage each time and had success in all. I’ve been using similar to wooly buggers but no chennile or marabou…mostly just black feathers. Black seems to be the best colour right now and i typically throw #4’s. I tye them simple and they’d qualify as egg sucking leeches i suppose, though i don’t weight them. Great idea for a post, thanks and welcome to FAOL in case i haven’t already !
Cheers,

The fishing here is nonexisitant. I was at Cheney Lake Friday it was muddy from recent rains. There was a huge mayfly hatch going on, I mean millions over a wide area in the air and water, but no fish of any kind were caught or even visible.
I don’t normally fish mid day but did yesterday (the best time to fish is when you can) and has moderate success. Six nice smallies (two in the 2+ pound range) and one rock bass. Caught one of the good ones on elk hair caddis dry fly and the rest on a dark green weighted wolly bugger. The smallies are just starting to get active after a slow summer with weeks upon weeks of high, dirty water.
