Members Motor City Posted February 8, 2006 Members Share Posted February 8, 2006 I fished Lobo Access on Friday the 3rd. I walked in down at the bottom of the shoals and found the water was down (3 pm), and started to work the water. They were taking small flies off of the surface here and there, but I found a size 16 'lightning bug' was the fly. I caught 15 fish in less than an hour, with two being pretty impressive (compared to Beaver Tailwater fish). Like the moron I can be, I started missing a bunch of strikes. What I found was that my hook had broken, and I was not checking it as frequently as I should, so I bet 6 more fish could have been hooked. Lesson learned. I turned to walk out and got tangled up in some nasty braided fishing line of some sort. I could not break it off or cut it with my wimpy butt nippers. So I followed it to the source on the bank and found a brand new Shakespeare rod and reel. Apparently someone left it there and never went back for it. It was covered in moss and sticks, so I figured it was my duty to get the line out of the water, and make sure the rod had a good home. I took it home and cleaned the sand out of the reel and cleaned the rod. Good as new. If you lost this rod, please know it is in good hands and if you can identify it, I will return to you....NOT. Anyhow, lightning bug, check hook, catch fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
