Things are starting to look alive on the home water here in NC. Today was no exception. Weather looked about as good as one could hope. 82 degrees, mostly cloudy, and a strong storm front hit just at sun down.
Fished two flies all afternoon.
Black and white marabou streamer with orange rubber legs size 4
And a size 12 chickabou streamer with some red flash.
First fish was a feisty LMB, first of the year.
Second fish was personal best bluegill.
Almost stepped on this guy.
Around then things started to slow down, so I switched to the chickabou streamer on a sinking tip for some of the deeper holes. This helped finding a couple paper mouths.
I got a good feeling about this year.
