Atypical Bssp Report

[FishinCricket]

I'm half tempted to be selfish and keep this report to myself, but that just ain't my style.. Besides, these fish ain't easy to target AND the abundance of trout in the upper zones captures more attention due to sheer size and numbers (stalked a pair of 14lb bohemoths yesterday, for example), so I feel my "pets" are pretty safe..

Got up and headed out to Bennett Springs yesterday morning to fish the catch and release areas, intent upon figuring out the smallie bite on the fly...

I snuck down to the boatramp hole and the end of the park and tossed the clown colored x-rap and came up with this fella:

A pleasure to meet you as well, fella. I was making my usual trek through the suzy hole this morning, and ran into this guy who was inticing a few smallmouth and "google eyes" out of their lair. I recognized him immediately as the FishinCricket. A nice enjoyable conversation, and then back to fishing for both of us.
