There have been reports that the largemouth bass fishing at a local
reservoir on sunny days is getting pretty good . I've been there twice this
year to no avail- but both times were cold, windy, and overcast. Yesterday
I decided to give it another go- after all it was cold, windy, overcast, and
raining. I got out of the office at 5:00, fooled around getting gear ready
and left town promptly at 6:00-so it was about 7:00 before I was at the
reservoir and ready to fish. About my fourth or fifth cast a nice spunky
little 14" l/m nailed the little green popper I was using. fished for
another 1-1/2 hours with no joy- fighting fairly stiff winds. As I was
heading back to the car, I noticed a little bay, more of a flooded
depression really, that was right next to the car that I had not fished on
the way out so I rowed the pontoon boat into the bay (maybe 40 yards across)
and a 19" bucketmouth inhaled the deerhair popper I had switched over to :-)
yee -haw.

First bass on a fly!
