I hit Condie yesterday. Unfortunately I didn't make it on the water until noon because of breaking garage doors among other things. I saw quite a few bass rolling in the weeds when I got there, so I was expecting fast fishing, but it wasn't. I fished an hour and a half and caught one about 12" on a baby brush hog. I think it would be a lot better earlier or later. The water temp was 74. I marked a lot of fish in about 12 feet of water. I probably should have drop shotted them, but there was this huge family there with tons of kids screaming and jumping in the water, stealing each others underwear etc. I really wanted some more solitude, so I left. I had about 40 minutes left before I had to leave for work, so I swung by the Narrows. I wish I'd gone there first. I caught 10 smallies and a rainbow in 40 minutes and missed a bunch too. Nothing huge, but a few were around a foot. I fished a coyote fur jig and a 3" paddle tail worm on a jig head.
