Went to Erie first, poor reports, so scooted over to Heart. Saw a few fish jump and one on from a float tuber. Put the boat in and used the same exact setup I used the previous day at Pine. C&R 10 fish in 4 hours with other bites. Found that just drifting with the wind and using a slow retrieve worked best. Fish fought extremely well on a 4 wt rod with 5x floro tippet, using a #12 plain black wooly bugger. Lost my last fish on a brown bugger. Went to Pass Lake for about an hour and a half and my partner got one strike at the boat launch. Not a whole lot of action.

Thanks for the report
I live pretty close to this lake and I think next time I will try fly fishing

how long of leader were you using ?
under tackle you wrote "sinking/floating fly line" did you use both?

my leader was 8-9 ft. and I use a floating line with a 10 ft. sink tip. gets the fly down without using weight and is easier to cast. hope this helps
