Nearby Pike Action

Visiting a new client this Fall, I became aware of an access to a lake 21 minutes from my house that I didn't know about.  Imagine living here for 20 years and not knowing!  The lake is mostly shallow but looks like prime bass territory.  Even though I just got back from three great days of trout fishing, it was far too nice today to hang around the house.  We still have a couple of weeks of bass fishing.  A boat was coming in just as I arrived.  He said he had caught nothing but he did give me some info on the lake, some of which was not accurate and I wasted some paddling time.  These fishers are unreliable!

I was going for bass but this 25+ inch pike was my only action.   Intermediate line with a Mississippi Maiden fly.  I'll post the fly when it becomes fly tying season.  Everything is beat up now.

ST36F and my toes froze pretty soon so I quit after two hours.  No big deal.....only a few minutes from home.   I should have come with my canoe.
