Hit Cameron Park about 5:00 and decided I was only going to throw top water with my 3 weight. I came up with a new foam critter last night with really bright colors so I could see it better, it is a size 8 hook so I can get hard to see. Little did I relize it made it much easier for the blue's to see also. Fished til 7:00 and probably got about 20 - 30 blue's with the occasional bass every now and then. Even had a couple break me off, but since I take the barbs off my hooks, they came floating back to the top when the fish spit it out. I never lost a fly due to being broken off, they all floated back up.

Nice outing Scott. Looks like the water was pretty calm with it being kinda windy yesterday.

Here is the little fly that got the job done. I caught all my fish on this one fly, I can not believe it is still intact. On at least 4 occasions yesterday is was 4 fish for 4 casts. I just hope it is as good tomorrow morning. I'll let you know.
