Hi All!

Wanted to get out early today but a maritime consulting job got in the way.

Got to Falls Village at 2:15 this afternoon.
Fished the Dam area with no hits. (Was trying for Pike).
Went below to the power plant and hooked into 2 nice Smallies, each about 2 lbs. on a rattle trap minnow.
First one came in mostly dead weight.
Second one fought and jumped a number of times like a Smallie should.
Both released.
Left at 4:00 and went to Woods Creek to see if I could get into some Crappies.
Nothing!
Great day to be out though!

I was just saying that I need to catch some smallies. Hey, how were you fishing for pike (e.g., live bait, dead bait, artificial bait)?

Hi Phil!

Used big live Golden Shiners under a float about 3 1/2 ft.
Nothing!
Starting to wonder if that big fish kill on the Housy did anything to the Pike?

So I went below the dam and hooked those 2 Smallies.

As usual Mac made friends with the hikers coming by!
Such a Good Dog

Hey Sea Dog- I finally found a place to catch goldies. Turns out that a small pond right near my house has them. Big too. They are not swarming and I have to put the time in to get them but at least some are there. I also catch white suckers and yellow perch, so my bait bucket will now be full of a smorgasborg of pike bait!

Hi Flipper!

Good for you!
A decent Goldie pond is worth the time to find!

I'm going to have to head back to the Housie next year. I had a ball there with my brother in July loading up on some nice sized smallies. I want to paddle it and learn it. Beautiful area out of Cornwall Bridge and I just want to spend some quality time there. Thanks for the report, Sea Dog.
