A New Toy

I took this partially underwater photo with my new camera: the waterproof/shockproof/freezeproof Olympus Stylus 790SW. The consumer testimonials on Amazon included accounts of dropping the camera into the toilet, from a three story balcony, and putting it through both the washer and the dryer. The ratings were positive so presumably the camera still took pictures after the abuse.
I think this is the perfect fishing camera - I just need to catch some fish to take pictures of...

A Small Mouth Secret

My summer fishing is o-fishially under way (you like that don't you?). Yesterday I spent the afternoon on Percy Priest Lake. I managed to land my first smallmouth bass of the year on a little weighted nymph. The best part about this fish is that it is hiding right under everyone's nose, in a spot so obvious that none of the thousand self proclaimed Bass Masters zooming around the lake will find it.
