Went fishing yesterday afternoon from about 11-2 with jwalker on whatever remains of echo. Had one rod with powerbait hoping to bring home some of those fat echo Bowes. They put an emergency limit increase to 8 on them so it seemed like a good idea to help the fishery and my belly. This rod got no love! On my other rod I went along the shoreline around various structure casting a worm under a bobber looking for panfish. Jwalker did the same and we didn't find the perch but we did find a school of yearling small mouth bass that wouldn't leave our worms alone. I busted out the fly rod and educated quite a few of the little buggers!

I decided maybe there's a decent bass in there somewhere do I rigged a Texas rigged curly tail on the spin rod and managed a decent tug. After missing a couple more bites I didnt have enough worth keeping so we packed up empty handed.

On the way home I tried my hand at fly fishing the Weber. I haven't ever fly fished a major river like this so I knew it would have a leaning curve. I caught one tree for a loss of two flys. I want to try again at a better spot I don't think I
Was in a very good one.
