Second outing with Larry
Larry Tegtmeyer and I went on our second fishing outing this last Friday, the 24th of April. The wind was a BIG problem and boat control, especially in my little two man boat, was a real problem. Larry was using his white muddler bead head fly and a black leach fly most of the time. He managed to catch a 2 1/2 lb channel cat on the leach pattern and I believe the count of 13 small crappie and a couple of nice bluegill, 9", for the day. Not bad for fishing in a windstorm. I tried for bass at first with my spinning rod using a zoom worm and a yum baby craw. No luck at all. I reverted back to my fly rod and went for the crappie using the white muddler that Larry so graciously gave me on our first outing. I ended up with 11 small crappie. So Larry got the better of me again with the biggest and the mostest! We still had fun and enjoyed each other’s company. Oh yes, Larry gave me a small fish counter to use. I believe he doesn’t trust my counting ability except when he’s catching the most fish, (ha, ha)! Well, next time, maybe I’ll catch the most and the biggest even with the fish counter! Larry is a fine fisherman and fly fisherman and I’m looking forward to our next outing.
