After school work, and after yard work before the heavy rains tonight, what to do? Just go and give it a shot on a nice evening. Low expectations + no pressure = catch fish. Had the mid incoming waiting for the water and fish to arrive. I had a few swipes and misses so I knew the fish were here. Landed two, missed about a dozen more, and dropped the proverbial "nice fish", which was probably a tad bigger than the two 27 inch cookie cutters I landed. Must have been a group of rouge teenagers out and about looking for a snack. Surprisingly they took the fly as it skittered across the top, and that figure 8 muskie technique, that also works on striped bass when fishing from a perch. Good night, nice to get them without really trying, for once.
