For all those people that have been bugging me, Tuesday will be this season's kickoff for the Summer Evening Flyfishing.
Date: May 27th (Tuesday)
Time: 6pm
Location: Dow's Lake
Target Species: Panfish, Carp
Notes: Parking should be available at the
Hartwell Locks (access via Prince of Wales Dr.) This will be a shore based fishing evening so you can leave your wading gear at home. Also be sure to work on your roll casts. We don't want to hook any joggers, etc.
I will be parking at the locks and will start fishing around the foot bridge that crosses the creek/inlet from the arboritum.
Cheers,
Todd

Was wondering when we might get started going back out on Tuesday's. I'll try hard to be there I've learned many things by attending.

it was a pretty fun time. caught about 8 or 10 sunfish/bluegill, 1 perch and 1 LM bass that ended up releasing itself.
my best flies were #14 scuds in purple and green. i had on buzzers, weevils and copper johns but they didn't do as well. there was a pod of fish where i could see them taking my flies. the buzzer and weevil they just tapped and sniffed to see if it was real. the scuds they took more freely.
thanks todd for organizing.

While it turned out to be a chilly evening, the panfish bite was good. At least one large LM was spotted as was a good 10lb carp. The back bays in the arboritum would be a great spot to hit early in the mornings for carp and bass (once the season opens).
