Saugeye limits are a rare thing on Rocky Fork in recent years but I have managed to scratch up a few this week along with a few other species.

I forgot this pic. I don’t remember what evening it was this week but it was the least productive. I couldn’t get away from the white bass that night so I didn’t wind up with as many of the preferred fish. I think I may try another lake this evening.
Found some moderately clean water to fish for smallies on Saturday before more rain hit. I've been having fun testing this 3D printed fly reel I bought from a guy online.

I dodged the storms for a couple hours tonight. The ride home got interesting but I made it safely with one short of a limit. I did not catch nearly as many fish tonight but pulling five legal fish from the Dead Sea is still a pretty good evening.

Took another trip to da norf woods with my buddy Eli this past couple days. Goal was decent browns on mice and hitting a Michigan trifecta (brown, rainbow and Brook trout in the same day). Accomplished both, although the night time brown fishing the first night was less than ideal with the river we typically fish being super super low and clean. I should’ve known better to call an audible and hit a new body of water but whatever. Day time fishing was tough since most of the rivers are running low and clean due to a lack of rain, but water temps still allowed fishing thankfully. We only had 2 nights for mousing and I wished we hadn’t wasted time the first night. Night 2 we fished a section of a different river that I found on a map and scouted last time I went up. A lot of log jams and deep water made it ideal for big fish eating small rodents. Eli didn’t move anything, I ended up getting 6 fish to slash at the mouse only landing one, but I now know this is a for sure spot to return to in August on my next week off.

38lbs to make the cut for day 3!
The shear #’s they’re catching is ridiculous…..

I did see that, simply an incredible fishery. I’ve never had much luck this time of year for smallies up there, mostly because I’m not too keen on electronics and they are almost necessary to keep up with the schools of fish this time of year. But I will say all those guys fish professionally for a reason! Lol@TinyTucky

Yeah watched some yesterday and today. That forward facing electronics is a game changer for those guys. The older guys (guys I watched growing up in this game) are struggling with the technology, and it shows…..
