The Chicago Bears weren't looking pretty, and it was seemingly nice outside, so, I took the dogs for a walk, and then venture over to the area of Poplar Creek that I had never fished before. Click here for the previous post - Local Exploring.
Armed with my 3 wt, a sweater, and the bare necessities packed in my Vedavoo Utility Belt, and Hip Pack, I set out with zero expectations.

It sure was nice to get out and wet a line in some unfamiliar water. Although, I was not able to entice anything. Looking forward to fishing this stretch in the summer months. I have a feeling it's a happening place for fun sized smallies and panfish.

A bass pattern I've been tying that's inspired by Nick Granato's pattern Maximum Cowbell.
