You lucky dog! I miss that little lake. So much variety, lack of competition, and so peaceful. Any perch yet? Hook into any trout while you're fishing for the panfish?

Here's a picture of a summer one from years ago I dug up.

Great fish Townie.   My spot isn't producing yet.  Last time we went we got 9 LMB, 3 yellow perch, 1 crappie and only two gills. 

I can't wait for a cloudy, calm day to get a shot at a 10".   

Keep the posts and photos coming.
