Fished Sunday from my canoe. Flat and calm and a bit of overcast made for perfect conditions. Got 5 fish, including one 3 pounder, and lost another good one in about 2 hours. All hard fighting smallmouths (and some tiny perch I didn't count). Great sport on a 5 wt. Floating line, 9ft 3x leader, and an olive/yellow/chart./white blended clouser took every fish. At times I could stand up in my canoe it was so calm - better casting angle and could see the fish take.

no pike, which is I was hoping for as I had caught several in the same spot last year.
