I mean, we had frost Thursday night....and Sunday night it was too hot to

Anyhow, the wife and I and the dog walked down to the river. *While they
strolled the park I hopped in the river and threw a few wooly buggers. I
fished for an hour and caught two smallmouth - smallish but feisty and six
rock bass.

The rock bass were exceptionally fat, of a disagreeable temperament and put
a healthy bend in a five weight.

I remember Tom joking (very politely and with much grace) when we were
fishing below three streamer Stan's and I was down stream and found a honey
hole of rock bass...I stayed there!

I'm tellin' ya, ounce for ounce, they are the baddest on the planet.

Anyhow the weather has finally broke for us here in Ohio...good times a
comin'!

Cool. I have been hitting it each evening and the buggers have been
consistently the deal. The lakes I can get to in the evening don't
have smallmouth or rock bass...I have been picking up largemouth and
big bluegill. Also on a 5 wt. Threw some foam poppers tonight and
they did ok...I guess maybe a bit early yet. It's a good way to end
the day.

My fishing picks up in a few weeks...yip, I am a school teacher. Then
I will head to the southern Missouri smallmouth and trout streams
quite a bit. We fish as many weekends during schoolyear as we can.
