Anybody catching fish ?
The water in my area has been to dirty for any sight fishing and after catching fish in Jan and Feb I'm batting O in March , April and so far in May. I stopped by a local lake yesterday that was muddy (ofcourse) but did see a lot of fish jumping in the shallows, they seem to be in prespawn mode in my area and I'm hoping for some Clear water soon.
Good luck and Good Fishing !
I managed a nice one last week on the Chagrin while it was still pretty stained - they usually patrol the banks looking for terrestrials when the levels are up, and you don't have to be as stealthy when the water is a little stained
I went out the one time on my new paddle board and caught one, haven't been out after them since. I typically don't fish as much for them pre-spawn and during the spawn.
This is carp candy. It's good for carp I think. Hence the name. But I wouldn't know I don't fish for carp. I dislike carp. Too ugly. Catfish too. Carp and catfish are fish I don't fish for solely because of their looks. Man's gotta have standards. I do however know it's absolutely killer for everything else. Bass can't get enough of it. That's one of the fish i fish for. They're not ugly.

Tons of spawning activity in my area but I found a few feeding fish while out saugeye fishing, caught one and lost one other fish, both took a black woolly-bugger. There were some huge fish splashing around in the shallows, I hope they stay in the creek for a while after spawning.
I've been (im)patiently waiting on the spawn to be done here in my area to get back after them. Usually late June/early July is prime for the mud flats around me.
There were still some fish in spawn mode in these small streams but decent numbers of fish feeding .
The fish splashing around in the shallows made stalking fish a breeze but I agree the best Fishing is just a week or two away. I wanted to catch a few on the 2 wt while the fish are in small water-- it was a fun trip !
Good luck and Good Fishing !
