Leclaire Lake

Snuck out at lunch for a few catches

Spent the rest of the night feeding all the fish in the lake worms, but at least I got one 😂

Caught my first fish as an adult

Bluegill in the snow

Nice lil fight on my ultralight. Love me some evening summer fishing...especially in the high 60s!

One of my toughest to land to date. She got all gnarled up in some thick weeds. Had to jump down approx 3 feet from the bank wall into the mud and muck to retrieve her before she broke me off. Shoes and socks were not salvageable so they immediately went into the nearest trash can and I drove home barefoot 😆 Gorgeous fish that was safely released!

On a rooster spinner! Second time this happened at this lake.

Neko rig in Molly Ringwald got it done this evening!
