On Sunday, I was able to meet a few of my students and fly fishing club members at Blue Springs Lake to chase some wipers and white bass. The conditions seemed right and I was hoping that we might be able to get into some fish on the dam. The fish DID NOT disappoint.
We caught wipers on 8 weight rods with large (5-6 inches), articulated streamers in olive and white combinations. The young man with the big wiper and bigger smile caught his 6 pounder on a jerk bait. Subsequently, the other young man with the largemouth caught his on a jerk bait and it went 4 and 1/2 pounds as well. Smiles and high fives were plentiful and I am so happy that we were able to share these moments together. I am also working on a video edit from the day and I hope to release this in the next few days. I also learned that good video footage comes at the cost of looking like a moron in pictures with fish because you have a camera strapped to your head. However, I am so happy with the footage that I will put up with the goofy look!
