Haven't seen much about Cavan on here since early in the season, so thought I would share. Water temp is around 19 celsius and a bit stained, lots of weeds growing and floating. But some decent fish came out to play.
Arrived about 3 and hit the lake, few lame attempts at throwing some flies, no dice. So moved to 5'6" ultralight and a small black and gold panther martin.
This guy, about 5 feet from my pontoon. Heavy and did not want to come up:

About half hour later hooked into this one, put on quite an aerial show!

Released both fish and home in time for dinner:) Both were caught near the middle of the lake in 4.5-5m of water.
The power-baiters from shore didn't seem to have much luck on this day, but guys out on the water seemed to be doing alright. Saw a fair amount of people heading to the south part of the lake, but did not make it that far.
Get out and enjoy the sunshine!!
