Good fishing it still a month and a half away here. The Sunfish will come on in mid May. I'm hoping for a better year this year. Our local county park has a 150 acre lake that usually produces tons of crappies in late may and June but last year didn't measure up. My daughter and I have caught 50 fish a day there before. Last year I don't think we caught more than 10 in any one trip.
I have been living 13 miles from a lake and 100 yards from a river for going on 5 years and haven't been fishing. That just seems sad. I think I will go get me a license. If I spend the money I will make time.
I like to fish for:
1) Panfish, good for supper and bait.
2) Catfish, good for supper
Nothing like fishing for a nice size bluegill with a light fly rod
Soon, Soon, my Precious.
Hope you have some good luck. We don't have beaches here in Iowa so I'm a little jealous...Next week is suppose to warm back up. Hope to go to beach and fish then.

I used to fly fish too, when I was in high school. The 'gills in the old gravel pits and farm ponds had never seen a fly on the surface before, and they would come right on up for them in the spring.I like to fish for:

It was us, I think. We didn't go as much. Everyone was going to the lake to be outside because of Corona, but there were still social distancing rules on the fishing docks. We started busting brush to go to new spots on the lake shore away from people, and it didn't always pay off..My goodness,wonder what happened?
It was a picture last week to see a bunch of my young Mennonite neighbors headed to the creek with landing nets and buckets to catch carp. 13 for them, that one day. It always amazes me how the fish make it miles to these tiny creeks then back to the lake. Most times the creek is only like a mud puddle.
Better, at the lake, it’s now trout season and it sounds like they’re great this year.
I don’t fish. The rods I have are for surf casting. The ocean is where my heart is.
Well thats good news Meer. Beaches are nice around there
I wanted to give it a try this weekend but water temps are still a bit cool for the crappie, bass, and sunfish. If it stays warm I think they'll be in the shallows in a couple weeks, eating everything in sight to get ready for the spawn. We'll start catching them then, until the spring bite peaks in late June...
A friend of a friend went walleye fishing and caught 50. He went with a guide and I'm thinking about going with the same guide. He obviously knows how to jig deep for them and I don't.
They were in the same area of the Columbia River that the record walleye was caught.
There is NO size or bag limit for walleye or bass on the Columbia River.
Columbia River walleye record: claimed, confirmed, condemned
