Well I am generally in the woods on opening day but the wind was blowing and the river was calling.
Nice bass you caught. I love the fall fishing where one usually has most of the water to oneself. The fall tree’s in their splendor, a light wind playing on the water and hungry fish waiting for your offering.

Nice Bass. What kind of fly did you use there?
Thats a variation of a freshwater gurgler. I basically just added a 3 inch strip of rabbit to the fly for a tail. The rabbit retains water and causes the fly to run just under the surface and it displaces a bunch of water.
I went again last night and used a brown variation of the same fly. I hoped it would look like a mouse in the water. Caught 12 in about three hours all in this size range.
Nice fish, and nice fly.
I’ve tried a lot of rabbit strips and they get awful heavy for casting. What weight line/rod are you using?
Nice fish! What hooks are using for your Gurglers?
And, here, I went flyfishing, and got the deer instead!!
