Fireworks

Hi Folks, Guided from the boat yesterday morning with spin anglers and the fishing was pretty darn good.  Nice calm morning with little or no wind and some early morning showers.  Good cloud cover and a surface temperature of 75 degrees made for excellent top water fishing.  The color of the day was any top water in fore tiger color.  That orange belly on the popper really draws some interest.  Also, crawfish colored soft plastics were very effective.  We landed 20 smallmouth bass and missed a few.  Lots of fish in the 2 to 3 year old class.  No real big girls caught yesterday, but lots of steady action.  We moved a bit and found fish in 15' of water and less.  Seemed as if the bass were really holding off the first significant drop off from the shore.  Nice way to spend the fourth of July.  Off to small stream fish this morning.  Evening thunderstorm dumped a 1/10th" of rain in Stowe.  We need some cool nights for the trout fishing.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home. Have Fun, Willy
