4-15-24 Meetup (A Dink Fest )
A beautiful day forecasted . Sunny , upper 70s , light winds .
When we arrived the water had just about cleared completely and was only slightly down from last week.
I took five combos to fish with and used four of them , but the two I used most were my 59 one weight Redington Butter Stick flyrod and my 56 Daiwa Iprimi XXUL paired with a Shimano Sahara 500 fe , spooled with Daiwa J Braid X8 and a 3# Floroclear leader.
The small gills and green sunfish have moved in shallow and provided a fun day of catching .
It was a 60+ fish day with the majority being dinks . But I was prepared for dinks .
When we reached our last fishing hole just after 3 pm I had caught 35 fish , my buddy had 20 catches .
I grabbed the flyrod and told my buddy I was going to make it to fifty catches by 3:30 , time to head home .
I beat my goal by 10 .
I was catching a small gill or green sunfish on almost every cast .
My bud caught several nice crappie in one spot we fished .
And I caught a good shellcracker, a nice bass , and a decent crappie to round out the total .
I loved getting the flyrod out . The one weight makes even the little ones fun , as does the Daiwa Iprimi .
The combo I caught most of the larger fish on was a 5 foot 13 Fishing Defy Silver ULF paired with a Shimano Sienna 500 .
Cant wait to get back out there .
