i caught a few spawned out females prior to the close this spring wont be many eyes in creeks or the canal this yr, but seemed to be plenty of eyes feeding while i was perch fishing last few weeks . I wouldnt be fishing the normal opening day spots this yr i would start deeper unless your trying at night

I know its muddy still but anyone tried the lake recently for crappie? Its time for them to start heading toward the banks to spawn. Thinking about heading over this evening to give it a shot. Fished spillway twice in the last 2 weeks and probably caught 100 + crappie with 0 being keeper size so think ill try some spawning areas on the lake.

Fished the housy yesterday from 8 to 3. Double digits but they had dumped them in on Tuesday.  It was busy, lots of guys in the notable pools.  I stayed away from those spots and focused on pocket water and was really happy I did. I didnt have to fight crowds or be within earshot of anyone which was great.  Beautiful day too.  All trout were caught on a #8 pats and a caddis dropper.  Lots of hits on the swing.  The trout are looking up!

Getting back into the swing! 

The day my wife starts bitching about the guns and fishing gear I buy is the day she will be the ex-wife
