Fishing

I know there was a huge fish kill at Salt Plains lake during the drought years when it got so low. Used to be lots of sand bass in the lake before that. The feds that ran the refuge were putting in artificial spawning beds for them in the Salt Fork and Sand Creek.

I know a guy at the Byron fish hatchery. I wonder if I could cut out the “middle man” and just go fish there...

Went to a local lake today in the kayak. Didn’t catch a lot but it was a good day until having to paddle a mile against the wind to get back.

dennis what was you using for that mixed bag??

Did alright on the 3wt fly rod yesterday afternoon:

Still haven't nailed down the hyrids on Hefner or Overholser this spring/summer. Been meaning to hit the Arcadia and Canton dams at somepoint.

As long as 3" fry is your targeted specie.

It was a silicone white skirted 1/8 oz single blade spinnerbait. It retrieves real slow without going deep and some rod tip action to make the skirt flare.
Lots of big bait big fish stories going around, but I like the little bait catch everything method.

Nice catch on the 3wt! Haven't caught a fish with my new one yet. Took the 5wt the other day when targeting the beds. Thought I might get into a good bass but only bluegill.

On Outdoor Oklahoma last Sunday they showed "tenkara fishing" which is basically fly fishing without a reel. I think they said it comes from Japan. Looks interesting for pan fishing think I'll give it a try this year.

Yea! Not a bad day. I hope to get on the Arkansas in Tulsa tomorrow but it looks like they are discharging a bunch of water and might blow it out. There be some nice stripers and hybrids lurking in there.

They are discharging a crap ton of water from Kaw just upriver from Tulsa because of the heavy rains in Ks. Better to go an 8wt in that current. LOL.

I've got a Loomis ShortStix 8/9 and a 300gr sink tip for just that kind of party!

We're part of the Tesla party so my fishing time may already be spoken for
