they have been the past few weeks however now with this warm as weather they've been hard to fish. water temp is already well above what they like so they are more or less just spawning and getting out of the river
Nothing like waving around a 8 foot long metal rod during a thunderstorm... but it was worth it!

10 inch bass ?
Yeah that one was about 10-11 inches. Thats ok for the ponds around here I fish. It's fun on a light weight fly pole.
This one I caught earlier in the year. Probably 15"-16".

The bass is the same one I posted earlier in this thread. 23 1/4" 7lbs, the walleye is 29" never weighed it. Very rare to catch a wally in our lake.
Both caught on a private 150 acre lake that my cottage is on.
Been fly fishing the Huron a lot this year. Lots of small smallies, but a couple 16" + fish.

Attachment 71140 41 inch gar pike. Caught on a lure. This is my first year fishing but I've had a lot of success.
Nice, what lake?!! Caught one of those YEARS ago in the Bruin Lake Chain
Couple pics from this year so far. First one was about a 15" large mouth. Nothing huge yet, but good numbers every time out. Season only opened a few days ago.

Hit the river yesterday and got skunked looking for some smallies. Wind was a big factor but anyone got any tips for mid detroit river or should I just suck it up and hit st. Clair everytime lol.
What was the water temp in the river ?
Nice Larry, thats a pig. Lake St. Clair?
I was on the River Raisin yesterday. Fly fishing.
Just a baby. 5.5lb. Up by the mile rds
Yeah, just a baby. :lol:
Was still only 46.
Anyone steelhead fish the clinton river? Any report
Ya we didn't have any luck in the shallows. Should have been drop shotting deeper.
Saginaw bay tommorrow. Hope we can find some
Waded the Lake Huron flats for smallies on Monday. Some real nice 3-4 lb fish. Still looking for a 6 lber.

This was at the D-Bar Boy Scout Ranch in Metamora 2 weeks ago. Had his other pole up north but the Snoopy pole still got the job done. Need to upgrade his home fishing equipment and get out more with him. He loved it. We caught a bunch more... was fun!
Nice Matt! You need to get him a fly rod in a few years. Get him started while he has the patience for it. lol
Wife caught this pumpkin seed over the weekend..master angler candidate at just under 10" http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/28/gy5unu5u.jpg
