It got chilly after 1am. As were headed in there was a good fog bank forming. 46* when we trailered up. Really damp too.

Lost a 4lber last night. Would have been my PB Nockamixon bass. Oh well fish stories no pic it didn’t happen. This one bothers me a bit. It’s was a beautiful fish.

What a blast to catch such a fish on a rod i built!!!! Thanks MelvinP for the rod, and for netting my first ever channelcat on a fly rod!!! Wooooohooooo!!!!!!

Matrix rod, feather inlay around name, trout stamp in the reel seat. It got a serious workout today!!! Lol. I guess i built it ok!!! Lol!!

 

[Randy Z]

Zoom in on pics. Thats an actual feather under the clear coat!!! Not easy to do!!! Thats why i did it on my own rod! I figured if it looks bad, its my problem! Lol

 

[josey12340]

Nice!! I really like the feather in it. It not only looks good but looks like it catches good too!

Not a fish, well baby perch only, last weekend the dock had tons of circling brutes. This week I stopped quick to see the owner, about a dozen huge trout belly up. Water temp, 80 degrees… heard Mauch Chunk lake was 84, can’t imagine much in the creek below survived either. Bummer……

 

[Gremcat]

Hoping the 60 degree high tomorrow and rains bring temps down a bit. Might try and hit a cold creek in the AM. Probably be one of my last attempts until fall.

Went to our tiny fish lake but I have fun.

 

[Gremcat]

Tiny fish are better for PT. Gotta work your way up to hauling in chrome soon.

I guess what I don't understand is how you catch these Channel Cats. How do you keep the chicken livers on your fly when false casting?
