We also fished the bay and a side pond for carp. We both lost good fish. They were ALL OVER THE PLACE. We are going back there for the carp, and also possibly stripers. On the way home we noticed that the Salmon River was not too crowded, so we stopped to fish dries and both of us had good success. The 3 weight got a good workout from some nice trout on dry flies. Good end to a really good day.... or not...
I hate to waste daylight inside, so out again I went to the local honey hole with the 3 wt. rigged with a little Clouser Minnow and the 8 wt. rigged first with a big Clouser, then with a Pot Belly Popper. First the Clouser Duo got a panfish slam (perch, crappie, bluegill) and an extraneous smallmouth, then the poppers took over and I began catching some nice largemouth bass. Cast, pop, pop, pause... BOOM!
Wow ! Great variety in your photos, and the joie de vivre of your narrative is just great!

ReplyDeleteOutstanding trip with a little of everything as far as fish is concerned. Love the colors on all species, and the water aren't bad either. Thanks for sharing
Thank you,
DeleteSome may not enjoy catching some of those species as much as we do, or even hate them, but that's only because they're blind.
A good day with a friend and a real nice bunch of friendly fish. We are seeing reports around here of 40 - 50 " muskies being caught. Guess the rivers are becoming more healthy to live in.
ReplyDeleteTie, fish, write and photo on...
Thanks,
DeleteKeep telling my that kind of stuff and soon I'll be hitch hiking down there and raising hell with those toothy creatures!
