Pocket : Hot Weather Spooning

Pocket : Hot Weather Spooning: "Spoons come in all shapes and sizes. From the teaspoon-shaped Johnson spoon with one big single hook, to a long, slender slab of lead made for deep water jigging the selection is fairly good.
Fishing spoons in the heat of summer can be some of the most exciting fishing you will ever do. Over thick hydrilla or lily pads, a Johnson spoon is one of the most effective lures you can ever use to draw bass out from under the thick vegetation. I have had some of the most viscous strikes of my life when fishing spoons over matted grass."

Pocket : Mulberry Flies for Michigan Carp

Pocket : Mulberry Flies for Michigan Carp: "I’d been standing in one place for at least 10 minutes, about 35 yards downstream from a mulberry tree, watching the carp mill around the overhanging branches on the Huron River outside Ann Arbor, Michigan. I noticed a fish come out from the bank and settle in slightly deeper water, so I shot a roll cast upstream from it a bit and when I saw the fish come up in the water column toward my slowly sinking purple fly, I set the hook."
