Stay safe out there in this heat.

Got out on the water today, but it was a bit too windy for kayaking, and way to windy for fishing. However, it was a warm and sunny day. So, it was still felt really good to get out for a couple of hours on the water.View attachment 169564View attachment 169565View attachment 169566

Hey now! nobody want's to see your rod hangin' out like that.

Finished this guy off, going to try it out at lunch today. Wound up using some bought stonefly nymph legs instead of molding them, these are much tougher. Tossed it in the sink while my wife was doing dishes, and it floats real nice and upright (she wasn't entirely happy I did that though).

Got some flexible foam coming next week, if this guy works out I'm going to make a dozen or so of them to use the rest of the Summer. The thing is definitely light enough, my only concern is aerodynamics when casting. The store bought cicadas I had which were a little smaller were ok though.

Original topic - the weather has been fantastic - feels like Fall in early August, which is pretty rare here.

^^That's a LOT of work. I tied a mouse, out of spun deer hair, ONCE.

That should catch a ton of bass.
