Well started out this morning for some bass on conventional tackle, that effort failed! I took my fly rod out earlier than I planned and caught my only 2 fish of the day on a bass bug. Headed over to the EEl and the wabash river and got the skunk. Last few days its been bad fishing for me anyway. I see allot of other slow reports as well. Its that wind from the east again with the bright sunshine! oh well thats why they call it fishing, least I got a couple.

	Life is just a series of obstacles preventing you from fishing.

What kind of fly rod do you have?

What kind of fly rod do you have?

Yes they are. But there fun on any tackle.

I am using a pretty lite set up. 5 wt quarrow with 5wt floating weight forward line. 6lb leader. If you use this lite of a set up make sure you use a reel with a good drag and at least 20lb backing. Also don't use his set up around to many weeds or you will be sorry.

daybreak: Always loved Labor Day weekend. Time for those jet skis and speed boats to go back in storage and make room on the lakes for us fishermen again. (:))
