Musky or Specks Posted June 1, 2013 Report Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Headed up for a day of fishing for brookies in the park. Was hoping for some magic but it was very hit and miss. Thunder Storms and tons of rain. Surprisingly no black flies to be found. Last weeks heat must have put a beating on them. First night sleeping in my Jungle Hammock and it was great I don't think I've ever been as comfortable sleeping while I camped. Started off the day using my 6 foot 4 weight custom cane flyrod and had a 13" smallmouth nail a muddler.WOW what a battle on that stick.Definitely going to have to revisit it come opener of bass. No photo of said smallmouth, cuz, u know, OOS and Homey don't play that game. Despite surface temps of 61 degrees fishing was tough and I ended up switching back to spinning gear. This was my best fish of the day Another shot of fish. Gave up around 1 PM and came back home. Cooler temps through the week next week could extend speck season right through next weekend for me. Feeling great by the way and determined to fish my brains out till I croak. Edited June 1, 2013 by Musky or Specks

Christopheraaron Posted June 1, 2013 Report Posted June 1, 2013 Thanks Rich! Chris, quit procrastinating and get that rod. LOL, I want to get it, but the guy hasn't replied yet
chris.brock Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 nice brookie, glad you're feeling better, there's nothing like fresh air, paddling, portaging and fishing this time of year
adolson Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Nice! Better day than I had... Super drenched, one bite, no trout (fishing a tough rainbow lake, determined to pull something outta there some day).
Leecher Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Sounds like you had a great time and glad you feeling better Nice trout btw Was that the only one you caught?
Musky or Specks Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Posted June 2, 2013 No I caught 5 others but biggest was around 10 inches. I don't break out the camera usually unless I break 12".
SirCranksalot Posted June 3, 2013 Report Posted June 3, 2013 Good for you,M or S! The scenery out there looks a lot better than inside a hospital, for sure!
Moosebunk Posted June 3, 2013 Report Posted June 3, 2013 "Feeling great by the way and determined to fish my brains out ti'll I croak." LOL. Words to live by. Nice specks.
