Spent some time on Saturday on a couple local lakes where the water was at 62 degrees til mid afternoon.  Then it went up a couple degrees.  Several places had evidence of bedding activity but no fish on any of them.  It's supposed to rain tomorrow and will be in the higher seventies temperature wise, if true that should start the copper nose into breeding activity.  I'm ready!

Most of the beds I saw were in water from three to five or more, some in weedy areas and some in clear sandy spaces will those be shellcracker, copper nose or plain old  blue gills?

The bass beds were intermixed with the BG beds, just a lot bigger.  We did see some blue gills in the later afternoon as well as some small bass.

Mr. Kensinger do you have any close up pics you can post of your flies? Some of us novice tyers would like to see how they are tied. Nice looking flies.
