cedar river

[lonehunter]

fished the cedar starting below the beaverton dam and going about 500 yards downriver using silver , and yellow and silver panthers , several smallies cought and a missed strike from a large northern or muskey . on the return up river , worms were bottombounced thru the deep holes with a #8 circle hook and a splitshot , this produced a 21" LMB . The water was coffee and cream in color and warm .

Second stop was chapel dam , fished the spillway using leaches for gills and SMB . water was clear and cool . all gills were small and the bass were under legal limit , they kept us busy thou .

Is one of them a contest entry? now I will have to go back and work to find a bigger LMB for the contest...LOL

congrats, a 21 incher is a nice fish any way you want to look at them......[cool]

I didn't take the camera like i should have , it was the first time my nephew had the experiance of wader fishing with me .
I had the neoprene waders and he wore my back up pair of rubber waders .
he just wanted to catch a big fish during his vacation , that deep hole in the cedar was about the best bet for such action .
the yellow and crome and solid crome panthers were what i anticipated a musky would hit , it came close enough to make him thrilled he went .the LMB was the best battle he ended up with , two or three spectacular jumps on that fight .
