Spruce LM 7/15
Late report but been meaning to post it up.
Hit Spruce Run with the wife last Sat to see what was biting. On the water at 6:50 AM. First cast at 7...4th cast with a Zara spook off a rocky point over about 10 feet of water first fish in the boat. Decent LM about 2 lbs. Figure we are on to something. Spend the next 5 hours assuring ourselves that there are no other fish in the reservoir. Ugh! Tried everything in the supposedly likely places for mid summer water temps at 77 - 78 degrees good clarity as usual with Spruce all for nothing. Finally out of "I got no other ideas left desperation" I head back into a shallow cove and start casting plastic into 6" of water. Bam...nice 3lb fish on the trusty 5" yum dinger in green pumpkin...two casts later 5 feet from that fish I get fish number three. Nice fish and it was a jumper. Took the air 5 times in the short fun fight. Cool now we are really on to something...NOT! Not a tap the rest of the day...off the water at 3 PM. The wife didn't get anything so it was a good thing the wine cabinet was fully stocked at home! Tough day this time out. Pic of the last fish to prove it.

Nice fish. I was there the day after you and it was still a tough bite. I caught-and-released one decent bass and a couple of dinks. That lake is always a tough place to fish. I blame the extreme fishing pressure and the abundant schools of herring in the water. .
