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.
