After the inadvertent catch earlier this week, I returned to the lake today for another go at fly fishing. I caught a few thousand blue gills that were too small to keep. Pretty Annoying. I then caught an eleven inch crappie. Look at how pretty it is:
My dad got his pole out to try his hand. I told him that they were biting on smaller stuff. He had the standard rubber nightcrawler with three hooks. He said he was just playing.
His first cast landed him this bass, which is just over 18 inches:
I asked him what he did to deserve the big fish. He said that he pays the mortgage.
Fair enough. Good work, good start to the season.
