Odd and not-so-great day yesterday
Hit Deer lakes early yesterday morning, wanted to bring back a few trout for the grill. Got a few smallmouth, but not a hint of trout. Moved to a spot in Harmarville that I usually find productive, not really expecting trout (though since its connected to Deer Creek I fogured it was a possibility) but just wanting to mix it up a bit.
Got the smallest catfish I've ever caught (Didnt measure, burt I'd say 5-6 inches), and I brought in a Bluegill....on a fathead. Id never even heard of that happening. He wasnt even a big one.
Left there, hooked up with some family at Twin Lakes. Again a few smallmouth, but no trout. Not a single one, and nobody around us was bringing any in either. Cousin brought in a few bluegill on waxworms.
Pretty unproductive day overall. Odd thing is, guy I talked to at Deer Lakes that morning said the previous day he landed at least 20 trout on orange powerbait. But nothing yesterday.
