Spring Smallies
Spring had sprung in WI, It was warm for a couple of weeks in April, but it’s been cold this last week and gonna be colder over the next few days. My friend, John Beth, and some fellow anglers had a chance in the early warm spell, to head out for some smallies. And they found them eager and ready to go. John took all his fish—any number of them in the 17 to 19 inch range—on a Bunyan Bug. Shades of A River Runs Through It. We’re trying to get something planned for later in the summer for another shot at those smallies, but that may have to wait until next summer. We shall see.
Now’s there’s a “happy camper”–er, “Happy Angler.”
Smallies this size are wonderful on the fly rod. See the red Bunyan Bug in it’s mouth?
