It seems to me that no matter how bad the weather may be during a fishing season, those who stick at it will be rewarded with an exceptionally good, but totally unexpected day. In my case it came after hope had died away. You see, I am writing this on the 11th of November (which is Remembrance Sunday), a long time after the salmon season finished on the last day of October and light years since the brown trout season closed on the last day of September. So, it isn’t surprising that expectations over the past week were at an all season low, to say the least.
Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass - How to tell the difference
All fish species have different external characteristics that make them who and what they are. Many species of fish exibit remarkable variation in physical shape within a single species, like the smallmouth yellowfish, in which mouth shape varies considerably according to the fish`s individual food preferance and habitat. Other families of fish have two or more species that can barely be told apart by external characteristics, for example the dusky cob and its nearly identical cousin, the silver cob.
The fish are rising all around you to midges. You open your flybox and search for your tiniest midge pattern. You finally manage to tie one onto the 7x tippet and cast it out.
I always knew there had to be some other use for the fur lining my car’s dashboard. I found it, thanks to Cliff Rochester of the Fishient group who came up with the Polar fibre minnow almost a decade ago.
