Bass and dry flies.
Yesterday popped to Phillips place to have a go at some bass and stock up on some bits i needed, so went down to the bottom dam which is very low and the weed beds are pretty thick, but there are gaps where you can see the fish swimming around the water is gin clear, so i proceed to throw flies into the clear section then pop,pop,pop the fly a few strips back then hit the weed beds and tangle up,after a while i got annoyed and thought how can i solve this problem of dragging a semi sunken flie into the weed bed.
On the streams this year i have caught loads of small mouth bass on dry flies so thought if they take them a largemouth will surley....only problem was i left all my dry flies in the car,but there in the corner of my box was a DDD but not one i had seen before its was just the cone piece with nothing else except a few bits hanging of it looked like legs i suppose it was large as well a size 10 hook,first cast leave the flie there 10 seconds later BAM this bass hit the flie with vengence, i tried like hell to pull that thing out of the weeds but with no luck reed beds one everytime. So my question is do bass always like to chase after there food or are they just has happy taking something thats justing sitting on the water minding its own bussiness.
I think no innocent species of wit or pleasantry should be suppressed; and that a good pun may be admitted among the smaller excellencies of lively conversation.
