Hit a big lake today...Phil and I hit the water a bit on the early side I would say....at least for fall weather...8 am and a balmy 39 degrees F to start the kayaking off right...Fog so thick you could barely see in front of you...I am not a big lake angler...not by any means...I don't like trying to find fish in acres and acres of water. I can read rivers, sometimes at a remedial level, but better then huge lakes. I look for the obvious things that everyone looks for...The structure right under you nose. I have begun out of neccessity to study lakes in more depth. Since my rivers are unfishable at the moment I have had to adapt to big water lake fishing. This is proving to be a frustrating endeavor with a fly rod...Some success was had today...but not without it's aggravations...
