DESCRIPTION OF THE OUTING: Caught four small LMB up to 13" and three nice sunfish all on the same Pink Crazy Charlie by the back foot bridge hole using my 3wt/4wt rod with 4wt floating line and 9ft leader/tippet.

I fished in Berry Creek along the boundary of the park; fished from about 1:00 PM till about 3:00 PM. I caught about 15 small (4 inches to 5 inches) sunfish and two fiesty ones in the 9 inch range. Some of the small sunfish were very pretty, with colors that looked almost neon. I saw a few small bass but couldn't get them to bite. An olive micro jig, a grey clouser, and a hare's ear all worked pretty well. The water was very clear and varied in depth from knee high to a little above waist high. With the current water conditions this is a good place to fish if you want to catch a lot of little fish in a very pretty place.

The sky was overcast, and we hadn't had any strong weather fronts in the past few days, so I had high hopes. However I only caught one fish; at least it was a pretty nice sunfish - between eight and nine inches long. I arrived at the park at about 7:00a.m. and started fishing with a size eight yellow gurgle pop with which I missed two tentative hits and hooked no fish. I switched to a size ten (or maybe a twelve) hare's ear, and landed my only fish at about 8:15 a.m. I continued with the hare's ear for about another half hour and called it a day.

The lake was down about a twelve to eighteen inches from the top of the overflow grate. I caught a glimpse of the tail of one of the grass carp, but otherwise I didn't see any fish at all. Usually, at Berry Sprigs you see some fish even if you can't catch them, but not this morning. I did get to see one of the pond's beavers; that was pretty cool.

Fished from about 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and caught 4 sunfish, including one red ear of about 9 inches. All four of the fish were caught on a small (size 10 or 12) gold ribbed hare's ear. The standard choices, like a yellow gurgle pop or a bead head nymph, didn't work; today, at least, they wanted the small hare's ear. One fish even took it while I was reeling it in while preparing to move to a new location.

I fished from about 2:30 p.m. to about 4:00 p.m. I caught 2 sunfish (about 7 inches each) in the first half hour, then nothing. I met Bob Brooks and Bob Bruner who had been there since a little after noon and had caught, respectively, 5 and 7 sunfish. We saw quite a few fish and had several follow flies, but the fish were very spooky.

I fished from about 7:30 a.m. to about 10:30 a.m. Shortly after I arrived I caught a good sunfish (about 8 inches) and a small bass (about 9 inches), both on a yellow mini-gurgler. After that I had a few misses and long distance releases (all of which seemd like small fish), but landed nothing else.

I fished from about 8:00 a.m. to about 10:00 a.m. I caught three decent sunfish (all three in the 7 to 8 inch range). All were caught subsurface on a yellow and black bead head nymph with yellow legs.
