Sometimes I’ll drive around all day looking for wildart, and sometimes it takes no time at all. I found this duo fishing in Hoover Reservoir as soon as I crossed the bridge into Sunbury, where we needed a feature photo. I thought about driving around longer since this photo came so easy, but with the cost of gas, I’m not going to chance throwing away a good photo if it might mean 50 more miles of driving around.

CAPTION:
Recently retired Jerry Gedert spends his morning fishing off the dock in Hoover Reservoir at Alum Creek State Park’s Cheshire boat launch area with his 3-year-old lab Hunter Riley on July 22. Gedert says Hunter isn’t much help catching bluegill or bass, but the dog enjoys swimming in the reservoir before and after fishing.
