I had planned to launch from Tucker Street into Weems for some more perch fishing today. But when I got to the ramp this morning parking was scarce. School construction is fast underway nearby and many of the vehicles parked on Tucker Street were from work crews. Also, there were two trucks with long boat trailers taking up lots of space. So I diverted to Jonas.
Rarely do I see the Severn this calm:

It was a nice day to be on the water. The air temperature was 60 degrees when I launched at 0800.
The tide was falling.
I worked some coves with a spinner and a fly and got 5 nice white perch.
Each was fat and at least 9 inches -- the kind you can hold by putting your thumb into their mouth.

I also got this guy on size 4 crystal bugger fly. I don't believe I've ever caught one on a fly before. I thought they preferred bloodworms.

I shared the water only with one other angler:

No doubt he was after white perch too. I actually beat him to the catch in that particular spot.
But that was my only claim to fame today -- winning against the heron at his game. I was disappointed in my low catch numbers but of course I enjoyed my time on the water.
