fished a popular lake in the Beverly area yesterday and did quite well.
shared the lake with 7 other people, some were from the Seegar walker bay team.
they were chiro fishing and doing really good. one of them was always hooked up it seemed.
started fishing about 9:00 and the fish were active. got into fish right away and for the next 3 hours.
I like to cast while slow moving and retrieve my intermediate line and it was very effective.
I use a fly I tie that is like a bugger/leech with purple in the body. I call it purple haze.
spinners were on the surface and I added a small hares ear below the purple haze and it was the ticket.
the bite died down about noon for about an hour and picked up again.
the hares ear eventually out fished the haze.
bright sunny day, no wind and the lake was not too weedy. plenty of open water to fish.
this report may bring the crowds out, but it is a public lake for people to enjoy.
I did.
