Back to Lanark

Decided to go back to my Lanark lake but the fishing wasn't as good as the last time.  It has been raining off and on a lot this summer.  Not great for crops and not great for fishing either.  In creeks and rivers the water gets murky from all the runoff but in lakes that is not so much the issue.  I believe the water chemistry changes in subtle ways and puts the fish off the bite at least for awhile.  Certainly trout are more fussy about this than bass.  In the 3 hours of morning fishing I had only landed one 12" SM.  But by noon, they started.  Of course I started off with the same rig as I had last time: #3 sink with a Mrs Simpson.  Nothing much doing with that so changed to intermediate which is much more pleasurable to fish with along with a two fly rig of a white WB and a black/green WB.  The black fly seemed more popular.
Its hard to get a good picture when you are by yourself.  I've been having a spirited conversation with members of the local chat line about holding fish up by the mouth.  I've been trying different ways than just showing a bass in the water.  I'm not entirely happy with the solution above as there is a possibility of some slime removal. 
You can see that I am using a Switch rod.  Best rod for a float tube and larger fish!
Astonishing to me to go to these 'private' lakes with cabins.  There are about 20 cabins on this lake but only five were occupied with no-one on the water.   I wish I could afford that level of luxury.   That is why there are still some large bass around relatively easy to catch.  Again, nothing got by casting to shore.  They are still down 20 feet.  ST 74F
