Can’t get too many anywhere I go lately. Been trying several lakes for brookies and splake too...just haven’t been able to get the timing right I guess.
Made it out Friday after work. First cast, 2 seconds after hitting water...fish on! ...little 12 or 13” speck...kept for the frying pan, second cast bite..bite... miss. Third, same. The next million casts....nothing.
Still nice to be out I guess (I think that’s what you say when you’re catching nothing...not used to this lingo)

Tell me where you went and I'll check it out and give you a second opinion!
I’ll give you directions like the old guys at my hunt camp do...
Once you get in there, past the big stump...keep going a bit, but veer a little left. Once you get past the Oak...you’ll know it...it’s a great big Oak...biggest tree around...so you go past that and then about 200 yards you’ll come to a clearing. Well it’s where they used to log. Used to be a clearing there. I guess by now it’s probably all grown up with pines. Haven’t been there in must be 30 years now. But anyway, ya go east from that clearing, and down past the stove. (What stove?). Well, old Rick, you know him? ...no?...well, he had this old cook stove...and it rusted through...so he put it out there, and it was by that field where we used to pick blueberries... At the stove you go up on the ridge to your left, right up top, and you follow the ridge for quite some time. You’ll see a an old ammo box there, it’s where jimmy shot the moose that time...but you wouldn’t know jimmy, you’re too young for that...of course the box could be covered in leaves and stuff now...anyway, once you find that ammo box, there’ll be a pond a bit to your north. Go in there and at the far side of that pond is the lake you’re after. Used to be good speckles in there.
