Fished out around Shermans dale from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Air temperature rose slightly from 58 to 64 degrees under overcast skies. Didn't take a water temperature but my guesstimate was low-mid 60's. The stream was very low and about as clear as Shermans Creek can be.

Nothing much going on but it was primarily a prospecting and training exercise. I spent most of time trying to get my girlfriend her first smallmouth bass. She and I succeeded too, with a nice 15" er on a Rapala Skitt'r'pop.

I landed a 9" dink on a yellow popper and LDR'ed a couple others on the same fly. There really wasn't much going on and the fish were far from aggressive though we both missed a few. A little more water and the first hard frost will definitely pep the fish up.

Shermans has treated me pretty well this year.

Saw a bald eagle there last month.
 
Dear Fishidiot,

The eagle was there today too. He took 2 fish out a couple holes upstream from us.

Is the Carson Long dam still private property? Used to have unbelievable days there a few years back.
