I wasn't sure what I was targeting, I was just out to fish. My choice of gear included a Berkely Parametric PD40 with a Hardy/Scientific Anglers System 8 reel spooled with a 6wt Magnum S.A. Sharkskin fly line. I'll be publishing a review of the line very soon on FFO - suffice it to say that the Para loved this line with a passion! I fished wooly worms and a deerhair emerger/bug of my own creation. It was a fine morning...

I was looking forward to fishing in Ohio in a few weeks when the family is there for a wedding, but a new job is keeping me home. I'm not a happy camper.

The carp are spawning in the shallows, something I normally don't expect for at least two or three more weeks. Typically Cowen gills will be in peak bedding when the day lillies first arrive, but this year it seems like they went 3 to 4weeks early. Bass are already done and long gone - though I enjoyed sight fishing to a couple big bulls still roaming the general vicinity of their beds. They were shut down, but it was fun with the long, leading cast and clear water. Joe C.
