Mary-Land/Virginia report..

Well I am home form the boondoggle… I managed to fish in Maryland only one day and got bupkiss for it… found a part of a river that was supposed to be loaded with smallies but apparently I had the wrong flies or got lied to :wink: Virginia was a little better… My brother has a 14" LM in his fish tank along with a 10" yellow perch that I did nab with a baitfish pattern :wink::smiley: I was trying to get pix but a 9ft rod in his living room and trying to getthe fish and rod in the photo was impossible :smiley: I loaded up the yak and hit Powathan creek near his house and about the 3rd cast I nabbed a 13" pickrel, then the deluge unleashed… I couldn’t get the camera out since it was raining so hard so I just kept fishin inthe rain… nabbed another LM about 10" and had sumptin HUGE breal me off 4 times, lost 3 clousers and a big wooly bugger, never did figure out what it was… I figure it was a big pickrel or a bowfin… who knows… had a pretty good time though…

could have been a gar, they often frequent same areas as pickerel up that way…
