7 days straight, 7 days catching

Started with a Sunday (22nd October): caught one schoolie striper--after seeing 3 or 4 little tunnies swim by 40 yds distant! No photos from the rowboat.

Monday snuck out on the Shetucket. Caught a largemouth and a huge sunfish, both on rapalas. No salmon to be found. That was in a previous essay on chasing salmonids
.
Tuesday in torrential rain and wind, wore a wetsuit at Chatfield Hollow and caught 3 rainbow trout in 14 minutes. I kept the first one and returned the others.

It turned out that pond had been stocked a few weeks previous--twice.

Wednesday back up in Massachusetts, go to a new pond--Upton--and catch 2 sunfish and 2 largemouth bass. The sunfish on flies, the bass on lures--one that famous Salmo brand pattern. That was also written about previously in the mad spinning lure entry.

Thursday same pond, catch 5 fish in a row. HOT! That's the one in journal entry on the mad spinning lure.

Friday, Ashland reservoir, yellow perch and a largemouth, on the "salmo" which gets snagged. I went back the next week and got it back by swimming with my mask!

Saturday, a rockfish, fly casting off the bridge, on my newest fly:

Then skunkings start anew on the 30th of October.
