Good stuff, guys! There is one creek around here I fish a lot that has some big redhorses in it. I don't know how many times over the years I've been nymph fishing and hooked into a big one and chased it 200 yards downstream thinking that I had a big brown on. They're stout fish.

Those white bass are tough suckers, too-love catching them. It's getting just about time for them to run here.

To Phallus,
With love


I live maybe 400 yds from the Fisher river, and ive never fished it.  The bridge nearby gets hammered, but if i drive through a field and drop down a rhodo choked atv trail, im in some decent private water.  So i did just that.  Wet wading in early march.

The river was kind of up from light rains but still clear.

I ended up catching two smallies, both 7-8" but i missed several and realized i needed to retool.

I know some decent fish lurk, but most are gonna be dinks, and no fight for a 7wt.

So today i went back today with a 5wt, some tiny streamers and carp nymphs.

They didnt want the streamer, but the river was higher today and i dont think it was getting deep enough to garner attention.  My cheating ass rigged up a pink worm and small craw double nymph rig with bobber and split shot.

Fixed this one for ya - wb


Thats two fish on two nymphs.  I caught one more dink on the way out and narrowly missed the thunder/hail storm. 

Im thinking another few weeks itll be on fire if the river drops a few cfs and i can wade deep enough to reach the far bank.

Erik, if it were to stay warm through the weekend, I would be inclined to float a local.

No such luck, however.

Many fish in there, Erik. Some nice 'uns....I've done most of that flow, and have a nice stretch or two for this summer I'm looking forward to. I've got two yaks available if you're interested.

WARNING: Phone Photos!
I received the ST. Croix 3 wt, a reel, line and an envelope of **special** discount coupons (photo to be posted soon) from the FRanzian baby raffle thang and was tempted to hit a wild trout stream, but was also enticed by the white bass run that ptfranze was pimpin out. With a sixer of Mama's Little Yella Pils in the cooler, I drove east to texted map coordinates while listening to a couple of chapters of The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt. Pulled into the off road parking right behind Jason, ptf and his wife, bummed a clouser and rigged up. Debated wet wading, 3:1 against, I was part of the majority. We spit up and I followed the "expert" who had caught 35 the day before.... After a slow start we finally found them and the action was nonstop until we quit at dusk. More than 16, less than 20, including 2 or 3 white pearch. Good times! If that was in my backyard, I could do that just about every evening!

'c; to all!

Toothwort in bloom in #1 w/Troutlilly leaves. #2 is Dicentra. Now find Dicentra exima and D. canadensis for the win.

Now I need to go get the kayak out and get in on some of this white bass action!  It's been a while since I've caught any of them!  Use to kill'em when I lived on Buggs Island.
