Fished on thurs. the 22 nd. with zero hits. That was the first time in many years that it happened. Water temp was 52 and a bit breezy, but we were very suprised that the fish would not bite at any of our reliable spots. Had many fish under us at most stops, with no hits. Was on the water from mid-afternoon until dark."Some times you get the bear, and some times the bear gets you".  As a follow up to the fishing rod that was brought up at Holy Cross; my friend was at Beckman's Point on Wed. and brought up a tool-belt with pouches attached. Must of been in the water for a while because the tool pouches were coming apart. I have wondered if the snowmobiles that have gone thru the ice, have ever been recovered?

Fishing;  The water color looked fine but one thing I did notice was the areas that I mentioned; the bottom weed growth was much smaller than 2 weeks ago. I usually find fish very near heavy weed growth in 10 to 14 feet. The bottom looked a lot diffferent now. I guess I'm getting the boat out this week because the cove at the back end of North Glade is very shallow. Have to get ready for my trip to N.Y. for big brown trout. I love fishing Deep Creek, but feeling a big trout on a fly rod will get your heart rate up. Got 3 last year that were over 12 pounds. I'll let you know how we do.
