Beautiful day for fishing.  Overcast, some sprinkles, calm winds.  Lake is full with some staining but overall still very clear.

Fished open water with little sucess.

Caught 95% of the fish in the lily pads and coontail grass near the banks.

All caught on a weedless rigged 7.5” worm.

Scum frog produced some good blowups but no hookups. 

Plenty of bites but a lot of missed fish or lost fish due to the pads and weeds.

Once hooked and buried in the weeds, I had to paddle to them to get them out.

Lost a number of fish, including a few bigger ones due to a poor hookset or getting off after getting buried in the weeds and moss.

I would suggest a strong rod and 50# braided line if going to fish in the near future.

Overall, a great fishing experience.  Plenty of hard fighting fish in this lake, but they are going to make you work to catch them.  (Which is the way it should be….)
