Had a GREAT DAY out on the lake today. Weather was perfect. Water was very high and cloudy with all the recent rain, and it has cooled significantly. Fished the north end of the lake and caught well over a dozen fish. No world records, but lots of fish makes for a great day. Two things, though: LANTERNFLIES have invaded the lake. They are everywhere. A big gust of wind came and blew a bunch right out of the trees and into the water and the fish had a feeding frenzy. It was incredible. Besides the bad news for the trees is that they land on your boat, your gear...even had a few land on me. And, when they hit the water they can't get out. The surface is covered with them. Only other thing - if you fish towards the bridge, get used to the noise of construction. Seems like every open patch of land on the north side of the lake is having homes built on it right now. Lots of construction vehicle noise up that way. BUT - aside from the flies and the noise - neither of which I can do anything about, it was a terrific day to be out there. Looks like the weather is gonna be nice for a while. Get out there and enjoy it if you can!
