Pumpkin spice glass beads for pumpkin spice sunfish. For some reason, I start seeing these warmouth sunfish late summer into early fall.
I caught it on a new-to-me Fenwick FF70 7' 5-6 weight fiberglass fly rod that has the date 7/7/70 written on the rod tube. The glass beads came from a bead shop in Athens Ohio. One of the feathers came from a pheasant, and the other came from my new ratty rooster skin.

The weather cleared up a bit in the hour before sunset. This time last year, I was catching these guys foraging in the shallows. This year, they are hunkered down under logs and rocks.

At the swamp. Caught a nice pretty green sunfish. What's report indicates that we will have rain for the remainder of the week 😔

Bass fishing starting to pick up. I did a very ugly back cast sort of around a corner, and reminded myself to "fish every cast". Diligence paid off.

Wind forecast was calm, so I put the canoe on Pine Lake. Caught this guy in a shallow streamer.

Caught my first two fish of 2023 on Pine Lake. A redbreast sunfish (pictured) and a bluegill. Both took a bead-head grouse bugger. I did not see any bass activity.

My swamp friend took a photo of me fishing at the swamp.
