Loved watching people fishing up ahead of this ripple, and they weren't catching a thing. |
This is a late writeup from fishing a couple weeks ago, but as they say, better late than never!
I mainly write this stuff so I can keep track of my fishing prowess not to generate single digits of views!
Anyway, Karen and I returned to 15 Mile Creek Campground. Last time I had some luck near the boat ramp, which had not really happened before.
First fish of the weekend, and they were all this size. |
My preferred spot is tough to get through either by wading or venturing through thick vegetation (usually easier early or later in the year), so I decided to try again.
Also, I was pretty sure I saw a small muskie last time, so you never know.
I caught six fish over a couple hours each day, and every fish was about the same size -- around 10 inches -- and caught on Reaction Innovations Little Dippers. I should have taken a picture of every fish to see if I tricked the same one twice, that's how alike they were.
I cast the lure out and let it drift in the current, which was rolling pretty good. It was really shallow, but the speed kept the lures from snagging -- I don't think I lost a single one.
