UpaCrick and I floated a section well below where the Ky Afield show that aired Sat/Sun was taped(BTW, thanks for the plug guys). We both took the long rods. I took the 7.5 Microlite and UpaCrick brought along the 10 All Pro.The water was low, but it had a little color. I caught a fish on the second cast with the fly. I didn't fish it with a float.
I kept getting tugged and it was hard to hookup. I only brought Chart/white. With all the baitfish scattering the way they did I switched to a white spinnerbait. It brought in a few.
We were downstream about 1/2 mile when UpaCrick said, "I wish I brought my small crankbaits"
Well, I brought mine. Some little husky jerks. I tied one on the 7.5microlite. I stood in one spot at the head of the pool and cast to each side of the currents.
I caught 5 fish. One of them was a fat 17in smallmouth. It took a minute or two to land that thing.
UpaCrick got to tangle with a 14incher of his own. The 10fter was well from the float tube, but a little tough landing them
I lost another one further downstream in the 14-15in range. Fish were really biting...

One thing I noticed about the fly is that I was using 6lb line. It didn't seem to have the action that I was used to on 4lb, but after that 17"er in that riffle. I'm glad I had 6lb, because the inital run of the fish would have broken me off...LOL...

Will probably take another run this weekend after this fresh plug of water gets through.
