I fished at Rock Creek for about an hour and a half for Largemouth Bass. Landed 9 of them. The largest were
a 16 inch and a 15 inch bass. The others were under 10 inches. The weather was cool and there was a north
breeze. I used a spinner bait fishing the banks.

This was one of the most beautiful days of the year! Temp around 78-81 degrees by middle of day. Calm conditions
most of morning with some slight breeze out of the south parts of the day. Sunshine with a few high clouds. We
hosted the Neider/Hauser family today from Kansas. Fred, Ed, LInda, Darla, Nick, and Jared. They had a lot of fun paddling
kayaks and catching Perch, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, and Crappie. The water was very clear today.
We have a new "Kayak King" today. Fred Hauser, 88 is our eldest kayaker to date. He had a lot of fun and fished
as well. The fishing was pretty good in the AM but cooled down in the afternoon as we are expecting another storm system
tonight. We used 1/64 oz. jigs tipped with 1" Food Source meal worms and Spinner Baits. Nick had a nice
Bass on for awhile. We did land a nice 15 inch Largemouth in the afternoon.

Fished at Rock Creek for about an hour and a half this evening. It was sunny with a brisk north wind 10-20 mph.
A bit chilly at times. Water fairly clear. The Crappie and Bluegill were really biting. I caught 32 total
fish including Rainbow Trout, Crappie, Bluegill, Red Ear, and a couple Perch. The Crappie are now 9-10 inches.
I got one trout that was 13 inches. I used a Panther Martin spinner and a 1/64 oz. jig tipped with a 1" Food Source
Meal Worm. I was the only person at the lake today. No other fishermen present.

I met John and Mike from Lincoln, NE for an afternoon of fishing at Rock Creek today. The temp was around 50 degrees
with slight breeze from south and overcast sky. It seemed much cooler. Water was not as clear today.
We caught numerous Crappie, Bluegill, Perch, Rainbow Trout, and a couple nice 18 inch Largemouth Bass. The fish were
very active early afternoon and then it dropped off for about an hour. After that time we really got into the Rainbow
Trout in 3-4 foot of water. We used Panther Martin Spinners, Spinner Baits, and 1/64 oz jigs with yellow twister
tails and 1" Food Source Meal Worms.

Fished at Rock Creek this evening. Water was like glass before a front moved in at 5:30 PM. The weather was
just gorgeous! I targeted Largemouth for the first 45 minutes and got a nice 15 incher in deeper water with a
spinner bait. Then I went after trout and panfish. Caught numerous Perch, Crappie, Trout, and Bluegill
in 4-5 foot of water using small jigs and spinners. The north wind picked up and the fishing died down toward sunset.
