4wt fly rod, little popper with marabou for the tail was the ticket. It is a lot of fun watching them chase it and come back for it several times.

Oh nice to meet you, I only caught two at the main beach area. The rest where after that little creek on the path everyone walks on. Some nice spots with Lilly pads just past the creek. Its tough casting tho, especially with the fly rod.

Good to meet you too!  Yea I fished in that spot you mentioned.   I didn't get anything, mind you it was too sunny at that time.   Weird, I caught a Pikeminnow of the dock.  Pretty decent sized one.  Since when does Deer Lake have Pikeminnows?  i should have killed it....but can't get myself to.

Have you guys tried the left middle-ish side of the lake? Also sort of mid right theres a small floating dock got a few off there. But i like the left side more, its like a small beach and i walk ino the water only a few inches deep and you get right to the edge of the drop point.

Haven't fished of the dock on the right side yet but I was fishing on the left side just past the house on the water.it a tight spot with the trees and such.pulled out a 2 pounder from there and my buddy pulled out a small one too.if you have waders I think the  spot would be good.i'm just surprised at how greedy these bass are.they also pot up a decent fight.

Im probably going to fish it almost every day now, a great fishery just down from my house. Might even take the bike down tomorrow morning and go around the whole lake.

I guess I awoke the monster. Last year everyone was questioning the existence of bass in the lake and this thread was dead and now... Everyone wants a piece of the action.  ::)

Would be nice to see that a bass of some sort of substantial size are being caught.

Feel free to send me the pic and I will post it.
