Erie

at Elk. Started out at the Legion hole and the action was spotty, but we did catch fish. One period had the action fast and furious, then a lull. My total there was around 6 landed. The big one, not pretty one, was landed there.
Then, off to the Secret Hole. It was stacked with fish, and I mean stacked. Caught another 6 or so there before calling it a day. Dan did about the same and he bagged a really nice one at the Legion as well. As always, we had a blast.
Dan’s cottage is awesome and as usual he rolled out the red carpet.

7 AM arrival

and worked hard for 8 or so fish. Then went to the top of the prop and lit em up good.
The sage bugger worked like a charm and when I got to the hole above the upper quad bridge it was like shooting fish in a barrel. There were 2 giants paired up and I had one look at a sucker spawn, but could not get him to hit. But the ones that did were bows in the 15-17 inch range.
My first 20+ fish day this year.
I love my new Yellowstone pack and no sore back from a bulky vest.
No pic’s, the new pack made it hard to get out the camera.

Stocked Friday

and fished Saturday with Al and Dan Africa.
The fishing was good, and the entertainment with Dan on guitar, vocals, and harmonica was great as well.
You had to work for them, but they were there. Streamers were the flies of the day.

Got to the club

bright and early. We knew there was going to be a fish fry there and got in some good fishing before the “feast”.
The creek was a complete “10” water wise and at the end of the day I totaled 10 fish, one of which was a lunker I got out of the curve, but after a 5 minute battle I lost him under a rock/log combo. The one pictured came from the lower quad bridge and I hooked him standing on the bridge and had quite a circus getting him in to the shore. Perfect water, food, and friendship made for an outstanding day at the club.
Even had some venison, good wine, and a nice fire. YCTC rocks!
