OK everyone,..... Got out for some long needed time on the delta this AM 8) 8) . Found some good backwater sloughs with reeds and mats 8) . Water temp around 58 degrees 8) . Moved about casting small clousers for BB. Got a few small bass early but not consistent..... :? :?
Moving down one particular slough and casting to a bunch of reeds, there was a tremendous spalsh and commotion on the opposite bank near a blown down tree trunk..... :shock: When I looked, I noticed a very large Bass taking a struggling squirrel under water..... :shock: :shock: Man, I was so excited, I cast out on the bank and snagged a part of the tree branches..... :roll: :roll: After freeing the fly, I went on down the slough figuring I'd return to this spot later. 8) Caught a couple more bass but they were all small..... 8)
Time to return to THE SPOT.... :wink: 8) Moving back down the slough, I was approaching within a short cast to the blow down when I noticed some ripples coming out of the branches at the surface near the Tree. :? I looked closer and saw a 10 pound bass :shock: placing an acorn on the trunk, just above the water line..... :lol: :lol: :lol: :twisted: :twisted:
