I'm headed to Indiana. If the weather cooperates, I will have a nice fishing week. Will hit Turkey Run Park outside of Louisville either tomorrow evening or Sunday morning. On Monday, I hope to go to Turkey Run State Park in western Indiana. Yes they have the same name; it's a coincidence. I'll work in Indiana all week where I will have access to the White River. I don't yet have a plan for the following weekend. I'm taking a tent, so Daniel Boone National Forest will be on the table. If I am impressed by Turkey Run State Park, I may go back there. If you've got some opinions about theae areas and fishing, I would love to hear them.
The bass are still busy spawning and sitting on their nests, but I was able to land one last night. My hollow deceiver looks skinny out of the water, but it has volume under water where the fibers aren't under tension.
I love this small waterfall, about 5-foot tall. When the temperature is high, I see people bathing here 😊
So, first come, first served 😉
Last Thursday, I lost to several teenagers on a warm day, but I was the only one on Saturday because it was pretty cold 😊
Arriving at a local creek this evening, I discovered that I forgot fishing lines and also premade fishing rigs 😭 So, I just decided to take a walk in the woods 😊 I didn’t forget fishing waders, so, I had no problem walking such trails 😉 BTW, this is a designated trail, which I usually avoid because it very muddy and wet 😊
I got a lot of refusals at a different lake last night, but they were ready to roll at Stone Mountain tonight. I've been trying out a sort of heavy deer hair bug. Fishing with a Tenkara, I am holding the fly on the surface of the water. The "too long" hook allows me to give it a lot of motion on the surface.
I did not see anybody on trails, but I saw some people fishing this creek during rain yesterday. I guess it was recently stocked with trout 🤔 Fishing was not my primary focus - I came here for walking in the woods although I had a fly rod with me 😉
Some health issues, including a few days in the hospital have kept me off the water so far this year. Very frustrating. I'm going to get ou there soon.
