Oh man I was hoping you found them... Sorry it was a rough one... Nice weather though for Thanksgiving time of year...
I hit the pond this afternoon after I got off work and the crappie and sunfish were on fire for flies... Probably caught close to 60 fish in a couple hours, was really fun even though they were just the small ones.... The warm day really turned them on... In fact I got bit by a skeeter, don't think I've ever been bit so late in the year... Probably why those fish were feeding on the surface so much this afternoon... I really missed a ton of nibbles too, they kept taking it and spitting it out before I could hook them, but kept things really interesting... So I've been wondering if I could figure out how to catch the whitefish on a fly? I have the sinking line, but I've never fished a lake with it before, so I don't know if I could tell when I was in the zone, but if they would bite like the crappie were tonight it would sure be fun... Maybe bring it and try it then go back to what I know after I'm not catching anything...
Thanks so much for the update, it sure helps us out and it's appreciated very much... Later J
