Merry Christmas dear reader! I hope you and all your family have a happy healthy holiday.
I caught a ton of fish today, and I kept my promise and visited my home water. I was expecting the water to be up, and it was flowing at the perfect level... however, I had thought about the leaves that have accumulated in the dry parts of the stream bed and it was loaded with floating debris. Today was not going to be a good day to fish my home water. I made a few casts and then just sat back and enjoyed the scene. If there is a prettier stream anywhere in Connecticut, I haven't been there.

Then I lost a walleye in the bell pond and caught some perch. But the highlight of the day was fishing for yellow and white perch in the canal with the 3 wgt. I caught 145 fish in two hours! Who cares that they were mostly small? This time of year for roughly a week perch POUR into this canal by the thousands. If I had hours I would have caught that many. Awesome. Amazingly, no predator fish come in to feast on this buffet. Why, I have no idea.

ReplyDeleteNice Job!!! Merry Christmas Rowan!
Merry Christmas to you as well! I guess that means you'll have to wait until next spring to see how well your home water has survived. Hopefully it has fared better than you think!
ReplyDeleteI could set there for hours, it is a place for our souls. You feel OK, as long as you have rod in hand.
