Pelican Lake report

[size 1]yeah that sounds about right. here is what i have to say. i started out the first one in the water, i string up my fly rod because i bought some speciallty flies and wanted to try them out. well i felt my rod bending where it soudnt have been bending, so i looked and sure enough, it had a big ole crack, broke the base right in half, dang, i thought it was a sign. i go back to shore, and use my dads fly rod, because he said he wasnt going to use it, well i put my reel on it and struggle back out into the deeper water. i started out with a yellow sponge spider that was supposed to be the killer thing up there right now, well it wasnt, neither was the black spider. so with no more lolly gagging, i put on my 2.50 specallty bass fly. well i start out stripping it and casting it, i figured it was to much work so i would just dragg it behind me and pop it every few second, well if that didnt work, after about 4 snapps of my line, i see a huge bucket mouth come out and slam it, it hit so hard it broke my tippet( it may have been a faulty knot). well i was bummed and paddled over to road, to get popper from him, it did the trick. i no sooner casted out and got a hit. i kept getting hits about every 3 cast, but i could not hook them. i finnally hook into one, the biggest of the day for me. it measured out to be 14 inches, it had some fight in it. i continue to catch them, in about 4-5 minutes i was 3 for 3. i thought this aint too bad. then it took a turn for the worst, i got a bug in the throst, and it would not come out, so i headed into shore. on my way back out, i figured i would give the sponge spiders another shot. and i no sooner threw it out and hooked into a nice bucketmouth. i caught 5 more in the same area and the bites stopped, so i headed out to give road a drink and catch some bluegills. that is how my day went, not to shabby if i do not say so my self.
