I did fish Lake Austin right after the game at dusk on Sat. . I figured one last trip before it's cold. Glassy and quiet. Last week I SUPed a recon pattern around my neighborhood and found where fish were more likely. Went back last night with a 5 wt for blind casting into those spots with a fat grasshopper fly. Only had maybe an hour. Had a nice time and caught a lot of Very small bass and perch. Amazing sunset. Just dicking around. Hooked probably my biggest perch at dark 30, a nice slab blue gill, got him nearly to hand and a massive bass hammered him and then took me for a ride. Pulled my Sup probably 1/4 mile before she decided to spit the bait. Was really fun on the 5wt. I knew she would open her mouth and swim free, but getting towed around on a 5 wt by a bass that would make a tourney guy nut his shorts was fun. Realesed the blue gill after the fight, but he was pretty stressed out what with the ride in a bass's mouth/ stomach. Validation for going out dicking around. You never know what crazy shit will happen. Also one Osprey scored a catch right by me and a had flock of Blue Wing Teal moving through. Gorgeous night. I do recommend that technique for lakes. Paddle shorelines and find where fish hang out then revist and concentrate on high % spots and areas.
