The winds have been my favorite this week for catching fish. My favorite little pond this week gave up some nice bluegill throwing Beetle Spins and a small Yo Zuri L-Minnow through Lilly Pad areas, even though trying to use the fly rod the wind made it difficult to throw drifting over and around the pads

Last week’s fishing was so much better than weeks before. Our lake water temperatures are creeping into the high 70’s to almost the 80 degree range.

Finally, an artificial bite is happening on Headwaters this past week! I only fished this past Tuesday before the wind fans kicked in to Gail force stuff.

I hope everyone had a great Spring Break last week. It gave me an opportunity to get on the water with my grandson and wet a line together which was way overdue for us.

Finally made it out on the water from what seems like forever for me. This trip was out on 3 Forks. The day started out a little rough due to the main canal was blocked with a big clog of vegetation that blew in from all the strong winds lately.

Only one day of fishing for me last week. I chose to head to the Stick Marsh thinking that the crowd would be less than that at Headwaters but boy was I wrong.

It was all about the Jerk bait bite this week. Cabin fever is done for the year for me as I fished 4 out of seven days. I remember when I was young that was nothing for me but now I have to say I’m tired!

I finally came out of my winter bundle-up and fished last week. It was really nice to see blue skies once again and warmer weather.

The shiner bite is still going strong and is producing the most bites on Headwaters at this time. The artificial bite still produced bites for me this past week but having to change out lure choices time and again makes it frustrating.

This week’s report will be short for me this week. With a family member passing away and having to go through all the procedures and everything, I never had any time for fishing myself.
