Didn't expect to get out, but my wife decided to take the kids to the movies in the afternoon, so I threw the Kayak in the truck and headed to Pine. Surprisingly the parking lot was half empty, probably due to the nasty weather. Only a few boats on the lake and the Pier was full, but not crowded. I tied on an olive Wooly bugger with a split shot about 4' up the leader and headed out from the launch. Immediately had a hit. It was raining, but not bad. The weather cleared up and I hooked my first fish. Got it to the boat and spit the hook. Got some more hits, but wouldn't stick. The weather moved in and we got a heavy squall with wind and rain. I was drenched, but as soon as it passed the fish started hitting and I boated a couple along with a lot of missed hits. Another squall came through without any bites during, then after it passed things picked up again and I boated a couple more. And so it went for the hour I was out on the water. Left with my limit of 5 with a couple released all on the olive wooly bugger. Not hot and heavy, but still fun and plenty of fish to be caught. Probably missed twice as many hits as I hooked due to having both hands on the paddle instead of one on the rod. Happy to have gotten out and happy the weather kept the crowds down!

Imperfect weather always makes for better fishing IMO. FYI, you're the first to submit a new report on the new website. Hope it was easy and straightforward! try it on your phone next time!

Cool. This was from my iphone! Pretty straight forward. The fishing date is wrong for some reason. I fished the 22nd and did select that date for the report. Maybe you can correct that? The other oddity was that the picture uploaded sideways and I had to rotate it via the website edit tool to make it show in the right orientation in the report (it remained sideways in the editor even after rotation). The preview feature allowed me to see that it was actually corrected.

Edit: I now see the date fished is correct. I assumed the date listed in the "reports" list was that, but it's actually the date the report was posted. Previously we saw both dates.
