Don't know if anyone is interested. August 9, at Delaney WMA pond, a fishing event for panfish, bass, pickeral 6:30 am to 10 am, 10 am to noon or later
water chestnut picking. I could use all the help I can get, it's a problem. Added benefit keep the plants for home and use them in compost.
Let me know if you can make it. |

Had the pleasure of fly fishing at "B52's Office" this morning at Delaney WMA...what a beautiful and Bassy looking body of water... BIG fish were
exploding throughout the pond all morning like some Lockness Monster lurked there...it was actually frightening ...we caught several good fish and had numerous
ferocious blow ups ...What a blast!!!... the wind kicked up around 9:00 am and made fishing tuff. Armand had their number tossing a "Electric Taps
Bug" and brought several nice Bass & Pickerel to hand. A seasoned Bass Bugger, Armand demonstrated his style of retrieving bass bug in the pads, he
retrieves it fairly quickly through the water/weeds and flips/lifts the Bass Bug over the pads without hanging up....Wow, should have seen some of the wild
strikes he was getting....it was poetry in motion... as a student, I took keen notes; my assignment is to try it catch some bass on this retrieving
style...will report back later with my homework
Armand with one of his bass this morning...smaller than he usually gets..he called them "cute" ...there are some lunkers in Delaney

Water chestnuts are everywhere in the Nashua... they've got a floating harvester working the water there to keep it under control. I've seen the same
kind of machine on Bare Hill Pond, though I don't recall seeing WC on that water, just an abundance of milfoil.
If you aren't familiar with the weed, here's a good resource: http://www.umext.maine.edu/onlinepubs/htmpubs/2535.htm Mike |
