Fishing reports? New patterns you are tying? Fishing here has not been too good. We have had so much rain that the Mississippi by La Crosse, Wi just lifted the No Wake regulations that have been in place for a record 90 days. Previous record was 46. The trout streams are running a four times normal flow. That seems to have caused the hatches to be off schedule. Panfish spawning is affected too. I have managed to catch a few fish. But nothing is happening at the normal times. Part of the challenge, I guess. A new (to me) fly I've tied is: Grillo's Hippie Stomper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4rilByk4hU . it was created for trout, but I know it works for Bass. My son in law has a pond behind his back yard and has just started fly fishing. i gave him two and he caught a nice three pound Smallmouth on one. Probably will work for Panfish too. Tuesday I'm scheduled to take two of my grandsons fishing. We will go to a local pond and try for Bluegills. Normally this would be a guaranteed success. But you never know. The last time I took them they wandered around the pond trying to catch frogs. They had a great time. Which is the whole point. I remember doing the same for crawdads when I was a kid in West Virginia.
