patfish Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Yesterday I joined the ranks of the unemployed, AGAIN. So this morning it was off for a little cure all. Went to my buddy's pond with the 8wt. Caught many in the 1-3 pound range. Apparently what LMBs really like on an extremely humid day in STL is an olive bugger. This was my best fish, around 17" and really healthy.

I caught this northern pike on the very first cast. There's a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid.

We should try and get out soon. I went back yesterday with a buddy of mine and decided to throw the PMS after the topwater bite turned off. I caught 10 or 12 the smallest being a pounder. I hooked one really good one on the olive, but she threw the hook before I could get her to hand(barbless is the rule there). I tied on a natural/ginger one and came up with this...
