Barton Run

So, in my backyard is a creek. This creek runs a bit through the woods, shallow at times, and into Barton Run lake. My second best fishery to date.







Sure, I have to shift my weight to get over sunken logs and go through a scary dark tunnel, but it's all worth it.







I have caught a few of my largest fish in this lake. Ok, the pictures aren't that great. But for a few seconds of prep time, a few hours of fishing and a few decent bass right out the back door, it can't be beat. I'm sure that many of my future posts will include fish caught on this lake.

  1. I see you have adopted my policy of holding the fish as close to the camera as possible to make it look bigger. Nice work.

  2. Well, as it turns out, at the time, I had no tripod, and only two hands. Alos, my doctor told me my arms are actualy much shorter than normal. I will accept this as a fine excuse for holding the fish close to the camera.

    But seriously, that guy was big for a small lake bass. I caught her in the heart of the summer last year. She was stuck to the cool side of a bridge in the shade. Baby bass colored Yamamoto Senko.
