Fishing Ryan Creek in Some Breezy Weather

I have found that fishing after a cold front is not the most productive time to fish. That was the case yesterday when my son-in-law B.T. and I ventured out on the waters of Ryan Creek. We had close to 38 on Wednesday night and cool all day Thursday and into Friday. I was hoping for top water action so B.T. could land a nice size spot.  All that came forward on the Rapala were 12 to 13 inch size. The Rapala is an excellent top water lure to entice some big fish hits but not on Saturday. I was using my 5 wt. with a size 6 Boogle Bug but no hits came. I did manage 6 bluegills 4 of which I will count on my goal of 100 during the spawning period. Those fish all hit after the water reached 68. There was very limited activity on Ryan Creek, so I guess everyone else knew the results before they launched. It was a good outing anytime I can get to fish with B.T. even if it was a slow day.

B. T with one of the 7 or 8 spots he landed --we called it quits around noon --slow bite most of the morning--I am still hoping for a super day soon with B.T. so he can finally land his big spot.

One of the four I counted towards my 100 goal--I am now 52 away from my goal. Sorry for the blur this image was taken with Iphone
