    Default Two Trips in One


    I took off this morning headed to my favorite creek fish location, the old mill creek .
    It’s been a couple weeks since we had some good rain and I was hoping a rise in the creek allowed some new to replenish the fishing holes that are so easily accessed and fished hard .
    I also had hoped the water level would be higher.
    The water level was as low as my last visit , so my hopes were shot .
    I decided to give it a try since I was already there and the only fisherman.
    I started off with a micro jig on my 4’11” Graywolf fiberglass rod and Shimano Soare XR500spg combo .
    I caught one small redbreast and a little five inch largemouth.
    I was about to leave when i decided to give my 6’6” Gremlin 2wt flyrod a try with a white rubber legged spider.
    Seventeen mostly small redbreast and bluegills latter , I decided to change spots .
    The creek redbreast even though they were small, were a lot of fun on the two weight flyrod.
    I left after about 45 minutes and decided to see if I could find some shade at lake McIntosh .
    My two best creek redbreast .

    I’ll post info on my lake trip below .

    Default The lake Trip

    I got to lake McIntosh a little after noon .
    With the success with the flyrod at the creek , I decided to start off with it . I caught six small gills , one decent one and a decent redbreast.
    Then I switched to my 5’ St Croix Avid ULF with a Shimano Soare SS 500spg and a 4mm tungsten bead micro jig , dark olive with a copper bead .
    After catching a couple of gills at one of the few shaded spots around I decided to fish the spot where I had luck yesterday, that was located in direct sunlight , know I would only be to stand the heat maybe thirty minutes . It was in the low 90’s already .
    That one little spot is a honey hole ! The water is shallow, but some reason attracts numbers of fish .
    I caught nine of my biggest of the day out of that spot , in about twenty five minutes.
    Some beautiful gills and a couple of shellcracker/bluegill hybrids that put a nice bend in the little St Croix and a smile on my face .
    When I counted up my catches , I caught nineteen at the creek and nineteen at the lake .
    But I had more bigger fish from the lake .
