hey all,
got out of school early today because it is the last day of school, and decided rather than sit at home i would go fishing at deer creek, that was a wise disicion. I fished the north side of the island, and had a blast, i caught all species in deer creek except a blu gill. i even caught a large mouth. I did get rather sunburned again but it is just the price i will pay for a hot day and a bunch of fish. My smallest fish was a sm bass, my biggest was a carp. the ladrge mouth was about 10 inches and put up a good fight even though it was small. the smallest small mouth i caught was about 5 inches, it was a minnow. I was dragging a worm on the bottom, and it was working mighty well, on every cast i would catch something, even if it was a rock occasionally. saw a few boats out on the water. wish i had my camera with me, it would have been nice for me to show all of my species. totalled out to be about 15 fish, in a 3 hour time slot. i will tell you what, it was one of my best days fishing yet. totalled out to be seven different species(large and small mouth bass, brown,rainbow and cutthroat trout, walleye, carp) all withsome good size to them.
It has come to my attention that there may not be cutthroat in deer creek, i would hope that my trout id was not off, can any one confirm that there is cutts in deer creek? i have caught them in the river so i am sure they are 8in the lake.
