I went solo to mantua today for 4 hrs and gaught 50 fish. 2 10" bass, 2 10" perch and 15 keeper gills, no trout though, lots of small gills. fished with a sweedish pimple and a hand tied fly about 10 " below. The fly is tied on a size 18 dry fly hook and all it is is flourescent orange nylon floss wrapped to look like a rat finke(tapered body). I was in 12' of water and they were all within 1' of the bottom. Had something large on for a few seconds but a bad hook set ended that. I also heard 3 guys talking about catching 20" wipers in the north marina on blue/silver lipless cranks. They said they caught 8 in an hour this morning. Can't wait till the "eyes" start movin to the west dike. LH2[laugh]
