Nice one!

Hi Folks, Guided some long time clients yesterday with spin gear for smallmouth bass.  Man, the bass fishing has been excellent.  Water temperature yesterday was 70 degrees and the level was slightly up and off color.  We fished big deep pools and slow water that was littered with downed wood and rock.  Lots of fresh #8/#10 stone fly shucks on rocks.  We hooked fish everywhere we went.  Once again dead drifted 3" olive Senkos on #2 red octopus hooks.  Green or crawfish colors are the most consistent producers.  Green seemed to be the ticket yesterday.  We landed over 20 smallmouth with a wide variety in sizes.  Lots of good jumpers.  Looks like a good cool weather pattern coming up.  Feels like fall?  Off to chase bass from the boat.  remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  have Fun, Willy
