Little Beaver Creek Report!

Good day on the The Little Beaver.  Hiked about a mile from the parking lot into the state park area.  Didn't see any  other anglers.  Caught lots of  creek smallies, couple " sauger", a white bass and a crappie.  Water was a little fast at about 250cfs.  Probably 200 or less would be good for fly fishing.  So we used ultralights - rebel wee craws, hellgramites, minnows etc. and some small plastics.        

Big Dan working an outside seam in the morning fog.


Nasty looking mouth on a sauger that took a rebel wee craw!


Same sauger, pretty sure they were sauger and not saugeye.

An average size smallie.

White bass hit a rebel minnow.


We found a fawn hiding in the brush.


Bambi up close.


I still think less is more.  I had enough stuff in my fanny pack to fish for a week. This guy makes an ultralight pack that is perfect for a day trip.  I think a camera case from Walmart will work as well, pics to follow in the near future. Steelieman

Urban Rainbow!


Not much to report from the weekend except this guy!  
Cool air today gave up another rainbow.  Hit a white whoolly bugger in fast riffles.  He was fresh, jumped twice.  I took a quick pic with a wet hand and he shot back into the fast water.
