timmeh Posted July 15, 2010 Report Posted July 15, 2010 Been out a few times in the last few weeks and found the fishing pretty hit and miss. Some days I've only found the dinks but I've had a couple real good days. Took the fly rod out for bass and got into some pretty good numbers, including a 17", but the camera batteries were dead so no photos. But even 10" smallie can put up a nice battle on the fly rod, and the big guys are just a riot. Still get out with the spinning gear for a little wading as well. He's a shot of the biggest of the year, a solid 20" from the Canada Day weekend. Every once in a while I pick up a few of these guys too.. Have notice quite a few deer around too. It required a bit of patience but I was able to get quite close to this fella. He was quite curious, and even though I was swinging around the fly rod he didn't run. Hopefully he wises up by fall. Hellgrammite Crayfish And a couple frogs that I haven't IDed yet but am going to look up soon. Any ideas?

timmeh Posted July 16, 2010 Author Report Posted July 16, 2010 The second pic is a pike. I got a little to close and the image is a little blurry. I'm still learning to use the camera, hence the experimenting with colors on the first 2 pics. Houski, I thought that the last one was a gray tree frog, but wasn't sure about the first one, thanks for the info.

So I should know.
Bob Posted July 21, 2010 Report Posted July 21, 2010 The frog on the stump looks like what we call a spring peeper around here. There are a zillion of them in the marsh out back but you have to look really hard to find them. They're loud but nearly invisible.
houski Posted July 22, 2010 Report Posted July 22, 2010 Spring peepers are a dull green colour, and have a darker green, or brown 'X' pattern on their backs.
BillsTheBassMan Posted July 22, 2010 Report Posted July 22, 2010 Great Report Tim. I can't even find the frog in the first frog pic. We saw an Egret @ the bass spot tonight but failed to get it on camera sadly - it was massive.
