Condie

[BrianID]

Most people that fish Condie for the first time have too high of expectations. It is also a smaller reservoir than you might expect. Last year there were a lot of small LMB in there. Several years in a row before that there were very few small bass and as a result there are only a handful of LMB representing several age classes. About a week ago I fished there for almost 2 hours and only caught 3 LMB around 9". There are still a few larger ones in there but they aren't as common as some writters and tackle shop owners want you to believe. I've caught LMB out of there crankbaits, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, stickbaits, rattletraps, all kinds of plastics, "popping" & "walking the dog" top water baits and probably several other types of lures that I can’t remember right now. While fishing there last summer a friend of mine even caught several on a deer hair fly that I tied. I would recommend starting with a bait you have confidence in and changing baits as you see fit.
