Fished Lake Riley, the small bass haven, but actually got a couple largies around 3 pounds on Thursday. I always take the ultra light stuff to this lake, so those 2 felt like 6 pounders on the fight. C&R'd about 35 bass, most around 10" long. Lots of baby bass minnows from recent spawns all over with trout and bass gorging on them. Talked to a trout guy who was doing well trolling a fly (he said one he got was 17"). So I dinked around with some power bait (after the bass bite died) and got a couple 12" trout for lunch before I left. Beautiful morning and great fishing!
