Lake Braddock

I hit Lake Braddock the last two mornings. This is an excellent fishery with large bream, crappie, and bass. Yesterday I hooked a bass on a yellow slider that looked to be about three pounds. He popped off in about four inches of water. This morning I had an absolute monster roll on my large black popper. He looked like one of the stripers they pull out of the Chesapeake: absolutely huge! The bluegill action is non-stop on a wet fly. These are real chunkers that fight like palm sized smallmouths. I caught about fifteen bluegill each morning, plus a handful of small bass, and some very chunky crappie. The big one awaits. Great fishery!
