Oil Creek Smallmouth Bass

       No rod building today. Well, maybe later. Today we fished Oil Creek in Venango County, PA. The target fish were Smallmouth Bass. The Bass fishing wasn't great, although We got into enough to make it fun. Even a few on very small Poppers. Great weather, cool water and a very nice day to be out.

     My version of a Dickerson 7613 with Hariki extra short ferrules worked great for throwing small slump busters to the Bass.

My new favorite reel. 1920's Hardy St. George

White Flies should be coming very soon. Get out and fish.
