I have been spending almost every week since late May fishing a local private community's lake. a good friend lives there and we've fished together all summer long. when he would go on trips He kindly loaned me the pass and i would fish solo. nearly all the Bass took Poppers in the various Lily pad fields around the lake. I tyed up the Poppers and made them weedless ,so I never did lose one in the Lily pads. I fished my 7 wt. and 8wt. fly rods with tippet strengths of 12 to 16 lbs. it is a blast slammin' the bass on the take and then hauling them out of the lilies. I even caught a 6lb. Channel Catfish - it ate the always effective Bunny Leech pattern... I have had a very fun summer and fall being a Bassin' Fool.....
P.S. = Humble apologizes to all.. further research confirmed that it was a Channel Catfish and not a Bullhead... i found the records that show exactly what was introduced in the lake once they filled it up and they only put in Channel Catfish.. (the lack of a serious indentation in the tail threw me off.).. sorry if it misled anyone.. not my intention.
