[Archived] What did you Catch Today?

[MB3]

1st top water Bass of the year. I had a Pickerel on top water as well. Today was a little bit of a grind but I caught a decent Perch, another Bass and a Bluegill on the 4wt.

After them again, short lived hatch and action tonight, got 3 on dries and a few on poppers before the hatch



Best of the night

Tried a topwater lure on the spinning rod on the walk back, quite a few blow ups but no hookups. One that surprised
the BeJeebus out of me, close to shore. I don't think it was a smallie, huge splash, then a flip and big tail splash, I only felt
the fish for a split second before he shook the lure. Also saw an eel while wading back to shore in the dark, 2nd one I've seen
this year on that stretch of river.

fished The river from 6:30 AM to 1:30 PM. Nice day, overcast and cloudy all day, river at a good level, water clarity was clear but not gin clear. Ended with 13 SMB largest going 17” and about an 18” juvenile striper. We had another 6 or 7 escape before we were able to get them in the boat. One of the escapes was a quality 16 to 17” fish. White rapala jerk baits ruled the day and ned rigged PB&J sticko gets an honorable mention.

The river is at a nice level. Sounds like a great day.
White Rapala. Gotta remember that.

Do you fish Peace Valley anymore?

Do you fish Peace Valley anymore?

If that question is meant for me the answer would be ive only fished peace valley out of utter and complete curiosity and Boredom maybe once every couple of years. I don’t really recall the last time I was there. I think it was during the hysteria of the covid shutdowns.

also, to be clear, the 14 fish were caught between two anglers. It was a long hard day of fishing.

I swam the length of it as it was being filled with my cousin started by walking in creek at Dave’s Sporting goods in danboro and eventually forced to swim we got out on the dam. Can’t believe how long ago it was. Seems like yesterday.

 

[HenryDavid]

Slow night, lost fish and a couple break offs Threw a plopper late night and got a couple

The hatch didn't get going til after dark. I saw a few bass rising, moved out to get within casting distance and every time I did they moved out further. One nice one shook the hook, one break off, and one small one on the dry flies. 4 small ones before dark on a green popper but one broke me off on that one too.

Buddy got a 21 1/2" smallie below local Hydro Plant this past Wednesday. First cast using a crayfish for bait. Not much weight for its length. Took a trip north of us and spent last evening. Couple dozen landed with 19" largest. Most all on topwater.

 

[MB3]

Caught another solid Rainbow on a paddle tail. After that a small Bass, med Pickerel and 2 Bluegill. Slow day but Shiela managed a quality Perch and the nicest trout she's had in a while.

 

[MuskieGal]

Really nice rainbow and decent perch today as well. But my only two fish for the day ao very slow day.

 

[troutspinner]
