australian made fly reels Hardy Cascapedia Reel – essential Flyfisher Sage Shift LT Fly Reels

As the summer progresses into August and September, a lot of smallmouth bass will begin to feed on crawfish again

Tying Recipe: Hook: Gamakatsu SL45 #6-8 Thread: 6/0 Olive Tail: Ultra chenille in red Body: Angora goat dubbing in an olive color, can also use senyos laser dub in an olive color Eyes: Medium black bead chain Collar: Olive guinea hackle Fly #3: Yellow/Tan hybrid (Fly on the far right in the above photo) The reason for the lighter coloration in this pattern is that in a situation where the bottom of the river/lake is all sand and a lighter color the fly looks really 'buggy'

This bladed jig was fished in water of 55 degrees and a depth of 15 feet for this bass

Gear ratios: High gear ratios translate to faster lure retrieval

These lures excel in cold water because they work effectively at slow retrieve speeds and allow anglers to maintain precise depth control when bass are less active
