Had a great day out there yesterday.

It didn't appear like it was going to be a good day. I arrived a little early. The creek had a light skim of ice covering the biggest part of it around the ramp and as far as I could see either way..

Bandit Man and RangerMac arrived shortlty there after. We unloaded and started fishing. I hooked up less than 10 minutes after starting. On the fly of course. Water temp was 36 degrees most of the day. After lunch the sun and wind had melted 90 percent of the ice. Water temp had climbed to 41. Fish were in bunches.
Our boat caught 35+fish. I'd say we had 7-8 keepers. Biggest may 2lbs. I caught all 13 of mine on the fly. Silver buddies and shaky heads caught the rest. Jig bite wasn;t there.

It was nice to get in the boat with these 2 knuckleheads. We had Dave show up about 1 o'clock. We fished until dusk..


Oh shad were nailing the silverbuddy....
Thanks fellas
