Got to the lake at 7am to see the dock already filled with bait fisherman and decided to inflate my float tube. Got on the water in about 15 min after setting up. Within 30 seconds had my first take and a miss. Another 30 seconds later had the first fish landed; about a 12 inch stocker. For the next hour or so I had about another 5 takes and landed another 4. At about 9 the wind picked up and I wasn't really planning on staying that long after that. Was fishing a red chironomid with a white bead, silver wire ribbing size 14 and a chartreuse one, green ribbing, size 14 also under an indicator about 2ft down with the dropper another 2ft. All in all a good morning, lots of fish rising and I seemed to do better than the bait guys.
