After three consecutive days in the high 60s, I decided to try my luck with some pre-spawn bass. I wasn't sure how deep they would be, so I must confess I took my spinning rod instead of one of my fly rods. Mea Cupla

I started the season off with a nice 6lb female. Within the next two and a half hours, I landed at least 40 bass several of them 2-3 lbs and more than a few in the 4 lb range. If the weather holds out, I will get out again this week with my fly rod and some big leech patterns. I can hardly wait.
