My Lucky Bass Hat

[John H]

The wind forecast for this morning in the Delta was kind of brutal so I tried an area I thought would maybe have some wind protection. I found the wind protection I wanted and also found a nice bass in the shallows who was looking for his breakfast. I must have dropped my bug right on top of him because he grabbed it before I could even make a strip. A beautiful seven pound largemouth. I got two pictures of the fish, a picture of the fly and a picture of my lucky bass hat which will now be worn only for bass fishing so that the luck in the hat will not be used up on trout, steelhead, stripers or any fish other than bass. I am not superstitious or anything like that, I just need to save all the luck in my hat for the bass.
