Uhhhmm. Nope. Think I'll try a different spot.

Went up to the lease and made a few casts. Finally got one to bite.
My buddy and I went trolling at Arcadia for a couple of hours this morning and got the fish buffet;
1 nice carp, 1 nice crappie (13in), small catfish, drum, and sand bass.

Caught my first Northern Pike today in Navaho lake New Mexico on a white crankbait.
Estimated 24” length. Was going to get an exact length but right after the pic was taken, the toothy critter decided it needed back in the water and I agreed.

Very nice catch Dennis!
My best bass of the year so far.
Spent the day on the San Juan river yesterday in the trophy area. Catch and release with barbless hooks.
Never got a single bite all morning so after lunch went back and started flipping rocks to see what terrestrials were in the area and went back to fishing. Caught a few small ones but about 3 pm the sun peeked through the clouds. The bite was on!
Within 45 minutes picked up three rainbows, one of which tied my personal best of 24” length and two more that were 25 and 26” long.
Funny story behind the scenes. In the first pic you can see the line is hanging limp from the reel while holding it in my teeth.
In the second pic, the line is tight because another trout hit the fly dangling in the water just about jerking the rod from my mouth. Learned my lesson on the third pic!
Turned out to be a great day on the water.

Nice fish! I have that same net, it’s such a gorgeous piece of equipment.
Fishing on the Salt Fork is over for this year. There are hundreds of catfish and carp carcasses. 
I’m going to get up early and try a little top water action for bass.
