spook factor in full effect

Hi Folks, Been guiding fly anglers river fishing the last couple of days for smallmouth bass.  The water is low and clear and we could use some rain.  Looks like we are going to get some rain with in coming thunderstorms.  Any rain will be welcomed but the steady variety versus a thunderstorm would be better.  I have been a on a river that is very clear and you can spot the bass more often than not.  The water temperature has been between 72 degrees and 75 degrees the last couple of days.  Lots of #8/#10 stone fly shucks on the rocks on the waters edge.  Also, a lot of #8 Damsel fly nymphs where moving around the bottom of the stream and were very visible.  Big morsel of food.  Not much for a top water bite last two days with bass coming to look at the fly and turning off.  We have been resorting to nymphing with #8 double tungsten stone flies under indicators and #10 olive/black tungsten bead wooly bugger.  Nice dead drifts have produced some good fish.  Trout tactics for fussy fish.  Trust me, when you can see the fish, more often than not they can see you as well.  Trout almost always swim off and hide when spooked.  Bass do not necessarily swim off, but they still will not eat your fly.  Approach to the water is pretty important in these conditions and not getting in the water is also a good idea.  Will be chasing small stream trout this morning and bass fishing in the afternoon.  Hopefully I will be able to dodge any nasty weather.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
