Learned a valuable fishing lesson today

[S. Sass]

I hit a pond Saturday and one Sunday on my 10' pond prowler. We landed over 50 Saturday and over 100 Sunday. Fishing has been exceptionally good for numbers biggest was about 5lbs. So the holiday weekend was ok here. 

Had a friend camping with family at the lake he said fishing was out of the question. It was all recreational tubing skiing etc.. I already had that figured from past experience.

A friend and spent about 6 hours on a stretch of River east and a little north of here...I was throwing flies (Mostly poppers), he was throwing topwater lures on spinning gear...he caught way more fish...that's how it is some days.

We don't count fish...but we caught a lot of smallies, nothing with teeth which was kind of a bummer.

Saw no one else all day.

 

...interesting follow-up: a big, slow moving storm system is moving though here...the river we fished yesterday at 160 CFS is now running at almost 700 CFS...with more rain on the way.

Looks like we picked a good day to fish.
