Went fishing in the hills today.
We got up early this morning loaded the Jon boat and headed back in the hills to a lake where the RR grade ran by.
Seen lots of wild life but only got one Bass and threw him back, good video of a few beaver working on their house.

Pitchy, that is a beautiful lake, just being there would be enough without any fish. Thanks for the photos.
In the first picture are they loons or ducks??

Thanks Jerry, those were loons.
I seen something today I`ve never seen, in the last picture ya can see a channel that goes between two lakes.
When we came through there a red squirrel was on the bank, it jumped in and swam across to the other side, I never seen that before.

Looks like a beautiful place to fish. I'm a bit envious. That lake sure looks like it must have fish in it.

I bet a fly rod with some small poppers would bring up a big bluegill.

That is really beautiful pard. Love seeing that calm water. Looks like good fly fishing water to me. I just gotta get this knee working to where I can get in and out of the boat.

Re: Went fishing in the hills today.
Went out last Friday with my nephew for smallmouth bass, and they were very slow still! Had to drag a crawdad artificial along the bottom extremely slow to get a hit. We got about 20-25 bass all day, but none of any size.

Those are the places I like to slip into with a canoe, find a nice place to stop and put the dry flies on the water for brookies.
