Bass Reflections

Bass Reflections


Saturday night I was able to check a local pond with hopes of the Gills being lit up.  What I found, was after 3 hrs of having the entire pond to myself, not a single Gill rose to a fly.  The bass however, especially the 1/2 pounders, were attacking everything that moved.





Partial to a Blonde Foam-Butt Caddis, I lost count of how many fish attacked it.  


Foam-Butt Caddis





They were looking up for certain, with rises often coming almost the second the fly hit the water.




Not a lot of size, but the strikes were so dramatic they often had me laughing out loud.  An absolute blast on the water.  It was non-stop action, until a managed to break off my fly on a  lily pad flower only to realize it had gotten too dark to tie another one on.  

Pure fun!

  2. I have been having some success with large elk hair caddis. The pond I fish has some good sized bass, but most of mine have been small. They do love that top water stuff.

  3. I'm surrounded by good bass water and I go after them often. Some are big, some not, but like you said, they're all fun. Keep at it!
