Nice crappie! Are they still out deep in main lake, or are they starting to move shallow?

Thanks Hoggwild, It's all good. I love the banter, so I couldn't resist poking back. Great Catch on the crappie thumb

I'm still looking for my first 15 inch crappie. The spawn is getting closer so I suspect I'll do some fly fishing around Overlook soon.

Is the log jam still blocking birch creek or can you get into the creek?

Was told someone went in and chainsawed the log jam blocking the creek..?

Went up Yegua in boat yesterday........lots of Black Bass. Two in the 4-4.5 range. Boated several White's and a handful of crappie. Nice day out, but not a bunch of movement yet. Fished from the mouth at the lake, up several miles. Water stained, 64 degrees, moving slowly.

I saw large mouth spawning in the creeks this weekend. Great to hear you caught a couple over 4 lbs. A guy showed me a picture of a 9.5 lb. bass he caught below the dam last week. It shouldn't be too much longer before they are spawning on the lake. Thanks for the report and information on water temperature.

Buddy of mine that lives on his ranch in Lexington said he got close to a 1.5 last night. Wondering if any of that will make it down towards the lake?

I fished with my fly rod and gray & white clouser again. I slowly started catching fish and once I got the presentation down I started catching fish on just about every other cast. It was kind of comical. I was the only person catching fish so I kept getting asked what I was using over and over again. People even took pictures of my fly.

I ended up catching 8 hyrbrids and 20 or so white bass before being crowded out of my spot. Catching the hybrids on my 4 weight was incredible. It was way over matched for those hybrids. They hit the fly so hard a couple times that they almost jerked the rod from my hands.

There are no fly fishing records established for the Yegua so I decided to have them officially weighed at the Marina so I can submit them for water body records. I registered a 5 lb./ 22 inch hybrid, a 1.8 lb./ 16.25 inch white bass and a 5.9 lb. buffalo.

I lost 2 hybrids that were even bigger. I was using a 6 lb. tippet. I tried sizing up to a 12 lb. tippet but the fish ignored my bait and I couldn't get a bite so I had to go back to the 6 lb. tippet prior to landing the 5 lb. hybrid.







Awesome fish Jamie. Keep those records coming! rockon


Side Note: I am sure glad you use a fly rod most of the time. breakdance I am also glad you mainly fish north of me. eeks Again SUPER FISH! flehan Bet the fights were GREAT! boxing
