Steven - here's what I put in the other thread, can't wait to see you this weekend and also fish in the next few weeks:


Thanks for all the help guys.

We launched at the dam at about 8:30 and the water was fairly clear and 52 degrees as advertised.

I had a great time fishing with my Dad, but I got skunked for the 2nd time in a row. Not a single fish for me.

Dad did catch a big smallmouth from a spot that Boone suggested (thanks!), but it was an odd one.

I measured this fish 2 times and weighed it 3 times and something just didn't make sense.

It was every bit of 22" long, but it only weighed 3lbs 8 oz. It seems like for that to be the case it would have had to be sickly looking, but this was a nice healthy looking fish. It wasn't overly fat, but it wasn't starving either. Maybe my scale is broken or my ruler is wrong. When I first got it in the net, I was going to guess 19".

In any case, Dad had fun catching it. He's now caughht just 2 smallmouth on the fly and they've both been 20"+

Sounds good. On the map, it looks like there is a lot of good water up that way.
