Fished at Rock Creek in early evening.  Temp was 84 degrees today.  Very nice day!  Fished until dark.  Found some Crappie and caught a dozen or so with a few in the 10 inch range. Also, a few bluegill and Red Ear using a small jig and a Secret Lure. 

Traveled to Rock Creek just before sunset and caught 8 Perch in about 45 minutes.  Beautiful day today!  Temps in the high 50's to low 60's.

Caught 48 total fish at Rock Creek including 4 Rainbow Trout, about a dozen Crappie in the 9-10 inch range and several Bluegill, RedEar and Perch.  The Perch were mostly in the 9-10 inch range.  This was a nice day with breeze out of the south and then diminishing which gave me some very glassy water.  I used a 1/64 oz. jig with a yellow and black twister tail.  Temps in the high 40's.

 

Paddled down the Republican River today at 1:30 PM.  Temp was an unusual 75 degrees!  Very sunny and hardly a breeze from the east.  The river was running great.  Came across several Big Bucks including one 5 point.   The water was 1-3 feet deep in most places and just past a beaver dam ran about 7-8 foot deep.  Paddled to golf course about 4.5 miles in 1 hour and 40 minutes.  Awesome Experience!

 

Took a client to Rock Creek.  Craig is a master of building custom Bamboo fly rods.  He used his newest fly rod to catch many Bluegill, a few Perch, and some Rainbow trout.  We caught a lot of Perch and Bluegill.  I got one Largemouth and a couple crappie as well.  The water temp is 43 degrees and crystal clear.  There was a little breeze from the south both days but mostly glassy water and a little sunshine.  The day temp was 50-57 degrees.  We were the only fishermen on the lake.  Very serene!  If you need a custom fly rod made just let me know and we can hook you up with Craig.
