Late September 2017

Flyfishing and the weather has been good.  Bass are still hitting topwaters, but I have also been experimenting with some subsurface fly patterns, mainly baitfish (shad) imitations.  I caught fish on almost all of them.

2nd Week of September 2017

Flyfishing over the past week could be described as really slow to decent.  It would be a stretch to call it "good".  But catching any fish at all is still fun, that's why we do it.

Late August-Early September 2017

Actually used a spinning rod for a couple fishing trips to Saylorville Lake, hoping for some White Bass & Wipers.



Other than that, I've just been flyfishing the local public ponds.  Its been cooler than normal for the past few weeks.  The fish don't seem to notice.

Also tied up some floating-diving flies:


And some "Shark's Wasps":
