Part of fishing for a long time is appreciating when a specific tactic works. For me topwater lures on spinning gear are about as exciting as fishing can get. Not as great as catching a fish on a fly and watching them
take the fly but a very close and exciting second.
On the incoming tide this morning. Not a lot of them but enough to make it interesting.
Our son Nicholas purchased an island on one of the nearby ponds last winter. He has been working this spring to set up a campsite with a wall tent. I used to guide on Stevens Pond in Liberty frequently twenty plus years ago but had not been there much since then.
