Lake Chautauqua

[flyhatch]

Fished this past weekend thru a pretty bad cold front.

Got this guy on Sunday.

I also came across this guy by accident.

My first time at this lake. We were pretty limited to fishing places out of the wind. We did run down to the south end of the lake with the south wind and rain, needless to say the ride back was like being pressure washed. I will be back.

Looks like a lot of fun. Those toothy bonus fish are fun as long as they don't steal or wreck any gear!

Thanks for all the comments, My partner landed a muskie bigger than that the day before, on a small crank. He also had two more on that came unbuttoned. Now if we were trying to target them we probaly would of got skunked. We caught a mixed bag of smallies and largies but the cold and wind made it tough going. The lake was loaded with all types of weeds,pads and docks galore. Just somthing different to fish untill its Heavy Metal time on Erie.
