Yesterday (Tuesday) the day after Memorial Day weekend my dad & I spent the morning at the FRC. I think there may have been some sore mouths from the weekend because although weather was perfect, overcast and a light breeze, we only had action from the small guys. We did catch one that was 15" but the rest were the recent plants.
Almost all were on a size 20 spent midge. A couple on black bugger and olive bugger.
There is a nesting hawk in the pine tree midway along the north shore. Maybe hawks will make it less hospitable to osprey? Although there were two osprey present much of the morning. Even saw one tuck and dive into the water in an attempt to get a fish--hopefully a bluegill--that was unsuccessful. Easy to distinguish hawk from osprey--osprey has mostly white feathers in front and on its face with dark circles around the eyes.
