After the cheaters, I mean, er, Radio and Ray lit up the scales with the smallies on Wea, I've been hankering to give it a try.
Talked to the gentleman that owns the land around the access. I think I spent more time getting permission than actually fishing, but that's cool. He's a real salt of the earth kind of guy and the kind of guy you are glad is around to add flavor to the community.
Anyway, I didn't land a single smallie, but caught some sunfish, a rock bass, and a couple "poor man's rainbows" (the barking kind).
Others were catching a few smallies, so I think they are still in there, but maybe they are starting to stack up in any holes they can find. Based on the success of "those who fail to follow the rules", my expectations were that the smallies would be voluntarily jumping into my net, even before I had a fly on the water.
It did look like there were a few mayflies coming off the water. They looked to be a whitish color.
It was a nice evening, even if I wasn't landing them right and left. These warmer days and low, clear water should be lending themselves to some good fishing.
