Sunny....85....and quality fish!!

BASS! Large and Small (mouth). Had a great few days on the water this past week...fishing top water with poppers, stripping streamers, and catching a variety of fish in addition to our intended Smallmouth target.  Before we get into last week...I have to give my daughter Mya props - she landed her first smallmouth on the fly a few weeks ago, and it was a sweet event! 

Not bad for a first!

Strip...strip...pause...BOOM! 

Fellow Guide Patrick Robinson threw on a popper and hammered this guy.


Pearl white was the preferred meal on the day... 80% of the fish were caught on that color, including this healthy bronze back...

 I just about lost this one...he took me deep into the weeds. Not quite a fist mouth, but close.


Conservatively...10 of these handsome Rock Bass came to hand, and they were a blast!


 Last but not least, this photo had to be taken to show the kids...


If you are looking to get the rod out for some warm water fun....the time is now. We will be back on the water this week so give us a call. 


Cheers To Bent Rods,
