Shelly Lake with 3.11lb caught on a fly

Shelly Lake is one of those spots you can drive past everyday and not give it a chance. With all the strollers, runners and cyclist it can be kind of scary. However, once you get past the thousands of geese, you have and opportunity to luck into a few fish. Catching bluegills is a given on a small popper and they come to you with such vigor. If only they were as big as a tarpon I would be in heaven. As for this bass, we stalked her feeding on small minnows. She was thrown everything until we put a small streamer pattern on and danced it through the bait. She keyed in immediately and followed it, gulped it and then she did what she does best. The rod was a 5 weight and she put alot of weight into it and I let her pull. Finally she gave in and we weighed her at 3.11lbs. Casting can be hard here because of the obstacles or the masses of people who just walk up behind you with no manners and start throwing bread and yelling at the geese. This is a morning spot or late afternoon cast which has to be done with some grace as some folks just don’t get the idea of a good backcast.
