Consistent

Hi folks, Been guiding for the bass the last few days and it has been really consistent.  I almost feel like it is a pretty sure bet that we will catch fish every single time out and numbers of fish.  Water temperatures have been hovering in our local lake in the mid to low seventies and the river I have been on has been 69 degrees.  Pretty big wind and sun the last few days.  The wind is a pain in the butt when trying to control the boat.  We have been catching a lot more smallmouth on the surface with poppers on the fly end and floating rapalas on the spin gear end.  In rivers we have been locating fish mostly in big pools that are loaded with structure like downed wood and big rocks.  Most of our lake smallmouths have been coming out of deeper water from 15' to 20'.  Incredible that fish holding in that deeper water will rise to the surface to eat.  Low light is the key and focusing on shady areas.  Man do the smallmouth pull back.  Trout fishing in the rivers should be hold up now with the cooler weather on top of us.  Nice cool nights and mild days will keep the river water temperatures in the mid 60's.  Terrestrials, stone fly patterns, and  micro caddis will all catch fish.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
