My childhood friend Mark had contacted me about doing some fishing. His sister-in-law had given us permission to fish her private lake.
We agreed on meeting at 8 a.m.. Unfortunately the weather man was forecasting a very hot day. Believe it or not he actually got it right. The heat forced us to give it up by 11 a.m..
Fortunately in that 3 hours the bass and panfish did a great job of keeping us busy. We opted on our fly fishing gear and it was a good choice I thought. We managed to catch several nice size pan fish and a few small bass.
I chose a yellow popper and Mark chose a popper like fly I believe he called “perch assassin”. The fish liked them both. Now if you have never fly fished before I am here to tell you that even a small fish feels like you hung Moby Dick.
All in all it was a good morning even with the heat. Good company, peace and quiet and a lot of action. We are already planning another fishing adventure. Maybe some all night catfishing.

Good stuff Wayne! I suppose the water was cool enough to keep the fish active, especially since you were fishing with surface baits. On a hot day, I find the fish prefer the deeper cooler waters. Then again every lake, river and stream is different and bottom-line (no pun intended) you got em and that’s all that matters! Keep reeling them in Doubledacres!

Thanks Wayne! By 11 they were deep for sure. The water was so clear you could see the bottom at 6 foot.
