I've had the last couple days off so decided to try some of the lakes here locally and hit up the Rubidoux with my daughter here in Waynesville. The trout fishing didn't last long, we ended up leaving an hour after we got there with our 4. She was all smiles though and managed to reel in all 4 on my 8wt.

The other pictures are over the last few days in my Kayak on one of the small lakes on post. Managed a few catfish on the fly also which was quite a surprise to be. (never caught a cat on the flyrod before) Overall ended up with 25 bluegills 10 crappies and 4 catfish. Not as good of numbers as some of you but it was a good week for my daughter and I.

Sounds like a nice trip. Channel cat on a fly is pretty neat. And more common than you might think and a blast to catch. So far this year six. while trying out my new kayak last Wednesday I managed a 22" on a popper in a friends farm pond,

Nice fish Billethead. I remember last year when I was crappie fishing trying to keep the catfish off the tube jig was a challenge. This is my first year trying to fish mostly with fly tackle and I have to say those catfish were as fun as anything. Now I just have to get wrench to show me where his white bass honey holes are, I hear those are a hoot on the fly tackle also.
