Hit some private water yesterday (one of the perks of me joining the Granite Bay Flycasters last week ....) . Some people really know how (WHERE) to live !!
First up - a small lake stocked w/ Trout . For stockers .... they were great fighters !! I landed 3 , and our host had 8 or 9 before my first bite (helps to be on 'em everyday) .
Second - tubin' a small pond reputed to have Largemouth the size of small children . I started out hitting a point that our host had assured me there would be some piggies .....
He was right .
Due to snotty weeds .... I switched from my Leech to a Sneaky Pete - 5 or 6 casts and a dink LMB blows-up and comes to hand . I thought this was a good sign (!!!!!) and , thinking the breeze would riffle the surface a bit more .... tyed on a 1/0 Griz/Yellow/White Dahlberg and went to work slapping the weed edges .
Landed 2 -2LBS , 1-3LBS , and one horror a hair under 5 LBS , along w/ a few dinks that came in .
Nice to get the topwater thing off to a good start early .....
