Back to the reservoir

[gillchaser999]

I went back to the county reservoir this morning. A beautiful morning, upper 60’s when I left the house around 8:40 . Yep, I’m trying to get earlier with my start time . With mid 90’s expected next week , I need to get adjusted to earlier fishing times .
I caught 17 , various sizes , all on my 6’3” 2wt. Fiberglass flyrod using a 3wt line . A fun little rod .
I did try the 13 Fishing Omen for about thirty minutes and had several hits on a 1” Slider grub and two hookups, but they both got off before I got them in . One I believe may have been big fish for the day .
What I was most excited about catching , we’re the smallest ones I caught today . Because they were the most colorful.
I think it takes a special skill to catch fish this small on an artificial bait .
I love catching them all ! .
I’m including a picture of the reservoir from the dock . It’s a beautiful lake . I read it covers 650 acres total .
