Whitetail Ridge COE (Apr 18 - 26)

Sunday - We continue to be amazed how easy it is to pack up and be on the road. We did so leisurely and were underway by 9:39AM. We drove the 97 miles in about 2 1/2 hours. We set up on site 15, which is on the water and will give us a great view, easy access for the kayaks and shore fishing opportunities. We are going to like it here (again).
Evening - We decided to fish from shore this evening and save the kayaking for morning. Joan had the hot hand with several bass on a hopper, two being larger. We weren't sure about regs so we let them go. We also caught some bream.
Monday - Laundry day, a little fishing from shore, and a few projects kept us busy most of the day.
Evening - Same fly, same time, same place, no fish. Just not biting today.
Tuesday - Its raining today, so a good day to make a Walmart run.
Evening - It cleared up and got very nice so we went for a long walk around the campground. We spotted several deer along the way.
Wednesday - It is very foggy this morning, so we must wait for it to clear before launching the kayaks.
Later - We got the kayaks on the water and this time John sdid most of the catching with two bream and two bass caught.
He filleted them even though the bass were small.
Thursday - Today we got the kayaks out twice and caught fish both times. One bass that John caught was larger. Also John had a very large fish break off his fly. The 3x tippet he was using being no match. It was a beautiful day with temps warming up. As this is being written, we are sitting out on our veranda watching fish jumping on the lake.
Friday - Out with the kayaks again to see if the fish are biting. Joan led things off with a nice spotted bass, just as she was about to report that they didn't seem to be biting. John soon followed with one nearly a twin. We had a long dry spell, then John landed a larger one near an island in an area that has a nice dropoff. With rain coming for the next two days, we cleaned the kayaks real well and put them back up on the Envoy.
Saturday - It rained in the night with t-storms this morning. We are watching the weather closely because severe weather is possible. Joan caught a nice spotted bass on a foam hopper while we snuck down to the lake between storms.
Sunday - We were under a tornado warning most of the night but thankfully nothing developed. We enjoyed a nice worship service at 1st U.M. In Lagrange. The sun is shining and drying things out. We will get ready to depart in the am and finish the last leg of our trip back to Trackrock. We are anxious to see all our north Ga buddies.
