If there is a Christmas season for bass fishing it has to be the spring. Especially for the fly rodder because the bass are in close to the shore and reachable with the fly which most of the year they are not. If you are not into bass you don't care about this. If you are into bass and believe there is a fishing Santa Claus, you know the big jolly man has bestowed a great gift upon us and that it should be enjoyed while it is here. A great gift that comes once a year and does not last long. Lots of other things are happening now as well. Ridiculous turkeys strutting around, lizards on the move and flowers going crazy. Great time of year. Merry Christmas.
