Lake Luzerne

20” on Berkeley choppo 120 in black

Eel grass: my experience is eel grass always has fish. Eel grass grows in shallow standing water, blades are about 3/4” tapered to a tip. My guess is eel grass harbors food sources, perhaps an invertebrate population that feeds baitfish? I don’t actually know much about the biology behind this, but try casting to eel grass when you see a patch! Share your experience and results:-) do you have a target vegetation?

Only time today for a quick evening session with both spin and fly rod. Lots of people out fishing my favorite spots tonight, but the outlet of the lake was open so I hit it :-). Caught an ambitious little guy, then cast deeper into the tunnel under 9N to coax the bigger brother to take. Both on the deer hair frog I tied last summer, and for Philip Calitre I took a picture of the 5/6 wt rod I built with my dad as a teenager. Tight lines everyone! :-)

Back at it! Had to try just once more on the way to get a second mortgage to gas up my truck. Lost two, landed one and done:-)

Black flies are out… fish are biting:-) first bass of the season!
