I fished yesterday morning (Sunday) 7/31/2016 from right at about 7am to 11am.   The drive in was very scenic as I saw about 20-30 pigs in the grass field.  I sat and watched them for 5 min as they wondered back into the woods.  The last stretch to the lake has one section of road that needs a truck in order to pass.

EQUIPMENT:I fly-fished using a frog popper pattern with a few hits, but most fish were caught with a size 4 lime-green bunny leech and a size 4 red/pink woolly bugger.

SUMMARY OF FISH: Total bass landed:13  Size of Fish: Largest - 2-3/4lbs  Most fish just over 14".  I harvested 4 fish under 14".  One monster perch.  Lots of missed hookups and thrown hooks, but these are not counted in the 13.  Good action. 

LOCATION OF FISH: Most fish were on the opposite side of lake of dam.  I did manage to catch 2 fish off the dam nearest ends of the dam where it gets shallower.  ALL fish were tight with the bank and right up in the vegetation.

TIMELINE: The fish bit well right off the bat, and continued till 10am.  The last hour produced the largest fish of the day which was about 2-3/4lbs.  Most fish just over 14".  I harvested 4 fish under 14".
