The bass fishing has been fair, but expect it to improve when the
weather starts to warm. All that is needed is a consistent
warm days. Cold fronts shuts things down.
For now, fishing subsurface with a 1/0
Clouser Flashtail Minnow or a 3/0 Blanton's Flashtail Whistler
will get strikes. When the weather warms up, try a 1/0
Charilie's Pole Dancers, a 3/0 Blados' Crease Flies, or a 2
Price's Mississippi Mudflap. |
