Decided to take a break from chasing trout and do some warmwater species fishing. I hit two of my favorite lakes. Not much happening at the first stop. Saw one smallmouth on a bed. Left him alone and saw no other fish. The first lake is up to 70' deep, so I think the water was still to cold.
Moved to a second lake that has much shallower water. Lots of pre-spawn fish cruising the drop-off edges and shallows. Saw a couple of largemouth on beds. Had my best luck with a brown rubber skirt bunny and a black bunny foam tail.
A few pics from yesterday.

Cool report!



















Despite the bass.

Thanks, nice report. I've never fished bass with flies, it must be a kick.

Nice report, stonefish. I can dig it. Some nice fish in there, and I also like your fly patterns. The foam tail on the bunny leech must impart an interesting action.

Sweet. I may need to shake things up around here and try a little Bass fishing.

Awesome- nice largemouth! Where do you get the rubber skirts?

The skirt is made up using rubber legs available at any fly shop.

Is that one of my pets Brian?

SON !!

Ol' spot is lookin' a little thin this year Brian. Better break out the nightcrawlers and treat them right.
