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.

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……

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.

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?;)
