Bass fishing really heated up over the weekend with the warm air temps, fish were fairly aggressive, still not 100% on fire, but some really nice bass can be found. I still look for August to be prime, as water levels drop and water clears up. Been tying patterns very similar to the ones found in the DVD, and now can also be watched VOD. Baitfish style has been #1 but with water dropping and clearing look for the spicy crab to start to take over.
Sunny Day, high pressure (from anglers and mother nature) try the spicy crab. Featured pattern in the Big Appetite Smallmouth DVD. The next 4 months are prime smallmouth time. Crabs other wise none as crayfish are not the big fly, sexy to tie patterns you read about they flat out catch fish. Plenty of open smallmouth dates open starting in July, once I get through the Hex cycle. Give me a call or shoot me an email. July – September great months to chase the bronze back before muskie and steelhead seasons.
Kevin Feenstra and I decided to get in the holiday spirit and offer the Smallmouth DVD at a new Holiday Special price of $22.99. A perfect gift for under the tree or in your stocking. Order now and I promise to get it to you for Christmas.
