It was another post card night! There must have been a bass tournament tonight, because there was lots of bass fisherman out and about. They act somewhat like bees; they do not stay in one place too long and they are always on the move. There was a lone group pulling a water-skier; wish it was me. I love to ski on a glass smooth water surface and when both the air and water are temperatures are warm. It is hard to describe the noise that is made when you make a sharp cut from side to side, but it is exhilarating.
The fish were all small tonight. The areas that had the most current produced the most action.
Again tonight we had a major may fly hatch. It was dark when I came off the water, but if I looked up in the sky, I could see thousands and thousands of the little critters. Hope we are at the end of seeing them for another year; they definitely have an effect on fishing success.
