Out on the canal at Anglers/Widewater yesterday. Arrivedbefore 9am and hiked up the towpath. Looked dewatered above Lock 16 so I fished back to the parking area from there.  Lots of sunfish, a couple of LMBs came to hand. Magic fly was a black and white Yuk Bug. There were also a number of shad or herring to be seen swimming in the shallows - no idea how they made it up that far. Yesterday was by far the busiest I've ever seen the towpath in that sector - it was like a volksmarch with a few bike riding MAMILs (middle aged men in Lycra) thrown in for good measure. I must have spoken to close to 10 people who seemed amazed to one degree or another that there are, OMG, there are fish in the Canal! ;-) One couple walked by with a stroller. The husband was heard to say the wife, "I'd like to take up fly fishing sometime..." Yours truly was prompted to ask, "So what's stopping you?"
