Had a great morning last weekend on lake Skiatook. Hit the water at
4:30 am, right before the bass tourney goobers got there. Despite the
huge turnout of boats, they all went way past us while we fished within
1/2 mile of the ramp.
The Kentucky bass were schooling like white bass or hybrids. We pulled
them in left and right on everything from top water poppers to a
muddler minnow I tied as one of my very first flies over 10 years ago.
What a blast on a 5 wt rod, which made even the occassional bluegill a
lot of fun to battle.

Amen to that roadhunter. Question: If you *had* been part of the frenzy
that is tournament bass fishing, how do you think you might have fared
on that particular day?

It is impossible to catch and release a wild trout.
