I have been camping for the past few days at a State park in P.A. Got
there Friday and left yesterday. I dragged the RLM with me and had a

nice
little launch site below the camp site. Got to fish every day and

caught
everything from a small musky to a huge crappie and a bunch of bass and

a
big old frog. No size to the bass and not knowing the lake I figured

most
of the bigger bass were in deeper water. I did however find a nice cove
loaded with weeds and lilly pads...and about 4 million dragonflies. Big
fish were busting these flies all around me. I could however not

connect
with a single fish there. I tried poppers, buzzbaits, speedworms, drop
shots, craws, senkos, spinnerbaits, horny toads and well you get the
picture. I'm sure if I had a "Hover Lure" I would have killed them.

Question" Lack of catching any quality fish in this area due to too

many
dragonflies? This seemed like it was all they would go after. I did

catch
some bigger fish in the 2+ range but all held to stumps or some sort of
cover out of the heat and away from that area, tons of 12-13 inch fish
were easily located on the shoreline pads and stumps. I'd love to go

back
there soon and was wondering what you would try to catch some of these
fish?


Try a Dragon Fly plastic on small diameter briad on a long spinning rod.

I just remembered a tidbit I heard about a dragon fly bite. The fellow went
out late morning. If I recall he was nailing them on a jitterbug right in
the middle of a heavy dragon fly bite. Might have been another topwater,
but I think it was a jitterbug.
