An Unexpected Find

[WestCentralFisher]

Checked out a new section of stream to see of it was any good for smallmouth. It was not, at least today, in this specific spot. But it was very pretty, and I managed to stumble upon a school of walleye*, which livened things up a bit. Also found some of the most aggressive bluegill potentially in America (you'd think switching to a  rattle-trap would keep the bluegill away, and you'd be wrong) and a few little largemouth.

*Yes, I should have done better holding the walleye. I'll admit I was not prepared to catch fish with teeth today that I couldn't lip on this little stream, and it threw me. I'll do better next time.

It doesn't matter how you hold a walleye, you're gonna bleed regardless.  😅

Nice pics.  Looks shady and cool, but maybe not.

Yeah, it wasn't bad at all, given it said the temp was 95 or so.
