Took a little drive and visited some friends who live on a small, but fairly developed
lake. The waters of this bow are highly eutrophied and, for the record, there's no
way I'd remotely consider eating anything caught out of there. The lake has decent channels,
and LMB, fair crappies and about a bajillion small bluegills. I took my 3 wt, a few
sponge ants and opened shop from the bank. The action was fast and furious. One
of the gills I caught was a true bull - full color, "shoulders", and a humped up forehead.
The fish was only about 6" long... Yup, the lake has a bunch of stunted sunfish. Aside from
a random, and out of the blue 10" redear taken last fall, this lake has never given up a 7"
sunny.... thank goodness for 3 wts.
fish on,
