I took the day off Friday and had the morning free. I hit the Upper Potomac. This summer on this river for me has been good for catching fish, but not for size. It has ben one dink after another.
It was a pretty morning. The air was very cool and the water was warmer than the air when I started. I got a nice blow up on the first cast with a black a gold buzzer. A few minutes later I caught this fish. DSCF7225.jpg
The buzz bait action slowed after a while. I beached the yak, waded some and picked up a bunch of small bass and sunnies on a black and gold Rapala. Then I got back in the yak and worked my was upstream to a nice pool area with some islands. I cast a Case magic stick and caught a couple including this one. DSCF7228.jpg
A couple more small ones and them up to the next pool. I was fishing a grub and in one area of nice deep water had two big smallies follow in the grub. They wouldn't bite. I changed to a big white fluke. and anchored so I could fish that large hole. A long cast with the fluke and he hit it on the drop. A nice 17".DSCF7229.jpg
I caught another in the fluke in the same pool.

Then I started back to the put in, I was fishing a large eddy behind an island working the fluke like a walk the dog topwater. This one blew up on it. DSCF7231.jpg
It was a pretty day and really nice to get into some nice fish on one of my favorite close to home waters.
