Fall is in the air

Well, it's getting back to that time of year, where nearly everyone, from young children to retirees, is "getting back into the routine or swing of things." While fall doesn't officially, "calendar-wise," end until September 21st, kids will be back in school next week, many of the summer attractions will be shutting down on labor day, and it will be back to the hustle and bustle of families getting up for school and work, coming home, throwing together dinner, and rushing off to weeknight practices, meetings, and other commitments. The swimsuits, flip-flops, and baseball games will soon turn to hoodies, jeans, boots, and football. I am sorry to see summer go, but that doesn't mean there can't be brightsides. Fish will soon be scrambling to eat as much as they can, in preparation for the upcoming icing of their water bodies. In other words, some of the best fishing of the year!!

Anyway, sorry I haven't updated in awhile. I recently took a new job. Fishing has picked up a bit, with slightly cooler temperatures. Fished spring creek a few times recently, with my combination green weenie and "zebra" nymph, caught several decent trout, and a bunch of suckers. The Juniata for smallmouth has been fishing well recently, my dad and I seem to catch plenty of them everytime we go,especially wil the whitefly hatch in the evening.

Lake fishing slowed dramatically, but has picked up recently. Fished sayers last night, and caught this two pound fat hog of a largemouth:

Also caught a nice sized perch, which was strange, considering I haven't caught any of them since early April.

Anyway, looking forward to the next few weeks. Alot going on, including my new job, my football teams opening their seasons, and the August 27-September 3 family vacation to Fenwick Island, Delaware. I'm hoping to do some saltwater fishing there.

Tight lines, and God Bless!!
