After a miserable summer because of the heat and illness I finally made the Wednesday "old coots" fishing day at the Lynn Creek Marina. The regular clerk at the marina had a knee replacement and will be in rehab for another month. The kid who is subbing for him was an hour late opening up. I got started fishing at 7 AM.
The lake is 2 feet low and very clear. The wind was calm this morning.
The vegetation is back. Three years ago the lake flooded and stayed 16 feet high for months. All the water vegetation died. The fishing suffered badly for lack of cover in the marina cove.
I caught dozens of small bluegill on night crawler pieces. but no large fish. I tried water depths from one foot to bottom in 10 feet of water. At every depth I caught fish at the edges of the grass beds, but no large fish.
I suspect the bigger fish have left the marina cove for deeper water in the open lake. However, I never catch many bigger fish when the water is still and clear with no wind.
It was very nice finally to be able to fish again.
