Arrived at 10:45am. Fished right by the north boat ramp. Tried large green night crawlers under a bobber to check out water. Pretty soon caught my first Smallmouth Bass ever! It was small but fun to catch. Switched to fly and bobble and landed 5 more. ;D
Chatfleid seems like a wicked choice for the get together. I loved the lake. I'll have to try the wakeless area next time. Any good fishing over there? Anyway, if it was closer, I could easily see it being my favorite lake. Nice size, lots of trees, river, and ponds!

I konw it's small, but it was my first one ever! :-[

Looking forward to the get together.

Congrats on your 1st smallie. Love catching the 1st of anything.

Small Mouth are fun.
So carnivorous.

Congratulations, keep trying ... there are some bigger ones in there.

Try dawn and dusk ... I prefer dusk for Small Mouth
... I have the most luck then.

I know a good taxidermist www.laxreproductions.com I'm not 100% sure they have a plaque big enough for it, though...

Seriously, though, glad you caught your first smalley...
