Had a good day on my second trip to the stretch of river east of Thurmont. Caught some small bass and large fallfish (one of them was probably the largest I've ever caught) and many bream. Hooked a very large smallmouth bass who threw the hook on his third jump. I frequently laugh aloud when a fish jumps, and I did so each time for this one. He was only about eight feet away when he got free, so it was almost as if I landed him. Used a B&B fly for all these. Switched to a bullet-head darter and hooked another smallie who jumped once and then got off. Put on a bead head marabou streamer and got more bream and fallfish.
Unseasonably warm. Water levels 1.71 at Bridgeport and 1.26 at Frederick.
