Ronnie, who is a long-time Legends Outdoors client called up the Lake Wallenpaupack fishing guide service to schedule another adventure for 2021.  Ronnie is also a guide himself for fly fishing and a former baseball player as is Legends Outdoors proprietor.  Ronnie several years ago hooked into some striped bass and landed a few on his fly rod and was once again trying to emulate that performance and gave it a go.  The plan was to do this and also some panfish fishing.  The striper part of the trip did not result in any takers, but the panfish part yielded quite an array of species and action.  Ronnie welcomed the overcast day with air temperatures in the 40's and barely a breeze during the day as he fished about scenic Lake Wallenpaupack. It seemed like a threat of a shower was to come to fruition any minute all day, but never did.  He brought some homemade sandwiches and shared in many a story about fishing and baseball during the outing.  Ronnie picked and pecked at the chilly waters with light line and Keitech Baits and caught almost two dozen fishing with eight different species in the mix including pickerel, fall fish, smallmouth bass, perch, rockbass, crappie, largemouth bass, and a sucker...yes a sucker even took the offering on this fine spring day.  Ronnie really enjoyed his outing and kept several of the perch and crappie for some Lenten fish fry meals as he really enjoys and savors them greatly.  The other fish were returned to the water and we wish Ronnie a great season with the guide service he works with and hope to see him back again soon to give it another whirl at a striper with his fly rod.
