Great Smallie!! How deep were you fishing?First bass of the year and my PB smallie. 5lb on the scale, super fat belly. Put up a heck of a fight on 4x! A few decent sized rainbows on top of it made for a great day!

You gave the popper a valiant effort. It was an honorable skulking.It felt warm and muggy enough at periods today to make me want to give it a shot but nothin’ doin’.
Can I trade some of this valor and honor for a fish?You gave the popper a valiant effort. It was an honorable skulking.
That gives me the idea for a fly name: M90 or Cherry Bomb. Now I just need to figure out what it looks like.Can I trade some of this valor and honor for a fish?
Chasing trout in Ohio last week, saw stirring in the weeds and decided the rainbows could wait. In one corner (pic) they were stacked in and plenty assertive. The same spot afforded a dozen or so..

Thanks! Yes on the bird's nest - a lot of local lakes and ponds are managed by the "Metro Parks" who do quite a bit of wildlife preservation. We don't have nearly the landscape and wilderness that the PNW enjoys, but they make up for a lot with resources and management like I've never seen anywhere elseNice fish!
