Fished St. Joe today with fellow member Paul Prosser. We were all fly rods all day and all things considered had a really good day. It was 44 degrees in the morning when we started and I think the bass were maybe a little off with the cold snap. It warmed up during the day but never got hot and it was nice to fish in cool weather. BassForecast rated the day about a 4.4 but even with the cool temperatures and low rating we managed 17 bass on the fly rods. Biggest bass was close to 3 pounds and caught some nice 2's as well. Topwater flies only landed 3 and the rest were on sub surfaces flies. I was fishing mainly black and white wooly buggers and they did fine on the bass, bream and crappie. Paul was fishing with fancy flies that I don't know the name of. Caught 18 bream and 11 crappie in addition to the bass. We got to visit with the owner and he's a heck a nice guy and his place is really beautiful. The last 5 miles of the drive to the lake is just stunningly beautiful - its like you go from prairie to the hill country which just sorta appears outta nowhere. Caught our bass kinda all over the lake on the edges but out a little deeper - not right next to the bank. Numbers wise caught the most fish in the northwest corner of the lake in and around the stick ups. Saw all kinds of birds, ducks, hawks (may explain not much on topwater) and the place has lots of horses roaming around which are cool to look at. The owner has a friendly one eyed dog as well. Breaking in a new hat and so far its pretty fishy.

Glad you enjoyed your day at Camp Creek, it is a beautiful place. Nice job catching lots of fish on fly despite the cold front; the new hat is a keeper!
