Fished Waterboo Monday with my fly fishing buddy Paul Prosser.  We fished all day from the bank and from my SUP and managed only 7 bass.  With the really nice weather and the bass-o-meter (Bass Forcast app) at 7.8 we thought the fish would be going crazy.  Instead they all just kept acting like its the first week in February.  I didn't have a water temp gauge but the water seemed really cold still so I'm guessing the bass were deep and slow and just not fired up yet.  The seven fish we caught were kind of evenly distributed all over the lake but were all out from the bank maybe 10 to 12 yards and deep.  That said it was a great day.  Saw a running buck and doe on the way out and a spectacular sunset to end the day.
