DATE: Friday, 4/22/2005
TIME: 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM
WEATHER: Mid-60s, mostly cloudy, strong wind (15+ mph)
WATER CONDITIONS: N/A
LOCATIONS FISHED: Crooked Creek, downstream at Lower Crooked Creek Public Access in Rea Valley
HATCH: None
ROD USED: Unknown
FLIES USED: #4 hard body gray slider, #2 ginger bunny fly, #5 rubber legged woolly bugger
OTHER: I fished with Ron, Bev, and Kay. I saw lots of smallmouth in about 3 to 4 feet of water. Some appeared to be as large as 16 inches. I fished all the flies mentioned, but could not interest the fish in anything. I did not notice any beds, but we had had a tremendous storm move through the area the day before, and another front was blowing in. Ron fished with a small crawfish lure and several other smallmouth lures, but only managed to take a couple of fish. Kay did have one strike using a Rebel crawfish, but missed on the hook set. Crooked Creek was a pretty stream, close to home, and we will definitely go back. I can't wait to get into some fish with poppers and sliders during warmer weather.
