been catching lots of bass here in indinana. biggest was 5 pounds big female caught full of eggs. been using a panther martin spinner with a silver body ,red stripes on the blade, and black hackle and a red piece of yarn with the hackle, i have been using all my crankbait and bass gear then pulled out that and then they come. never thought i would be using my trout gear for bass lol. maybey this week i will head out with some poppers.
Trout man Do ya eat these bass? I used to be big on bass fishing. I like to use the soft plastics, in worms and lizards. I have yet to target bass on a fly rod. I have caught some small bass while targeting blue gill on a fly. 1/2 lb bass are good eating.
I was born & bred in that area and that type of fishing. Farm ponds, prams, float tubes, small creeks, wet wading, great fun with either spinning or fly gear.
