Default The eagle flys on Friday

That's quite a coincidence Richard buddy - remember that great day I was
talking about?

Yup, Manor Lake.

I never keep bass, however I keep trout occasionally if the situation
warrants. For example, we kept trout during a backpacking trip this past
summer in the Wind River Range in Wyoming.

BTW- Since you are a local Warren, the lake was Manor Lake in Tulleytown.
The eagle grabbed his meal off of the stump flats. I was working a white
spinnerbait along the far shore by the creek outlet when I saw him.

Nice job Richard, very observant of you. One tiny ripple on the

opposite
side of a flat led me to one of the best days I've ever had here in PA,
about 50 good keepers including my first "double".

Pays to be observant.

All kidding aside, I was somewhat frustrated "looking" for bass on my

home
lake earlier this summer. Being a devotee of Rich Z's book, I tried to

think
like a bass, not the master of a tackle box. Sure enough, as I was

looking
out over the lake I saw an eagle swoop down and pluck a small bait

fish
out
of the water. A few minutes later I was casting a floating rapala in

the
vicinity of where the eagle grabbed his meal. It wasn't long until I

had
a
nice fat bass in the live well.

Sometimes it pays to step back and re-think your approach towards

finding
fish.
