East Metro Bass Report

    I headed out to my favorite East Metro Bass lake early this morning, I was on the water at 4AM. The air temp was 49 degrees, the water temps were 61-62 degrees everywhere I went and they already sprayed the lake so the weeds were slimy brown and dying, ughhh.

    As usual I was throwing topwater bugs with my 8 weight fly rods, mainly Deer Hair divers. I managed to boat a half dozen decent fish but I had to cover a lot of ground to do it. They were scattered all over the lake and no real pattern presented itself. The strange thing is that I saw many more Bass than I caught. They were cruising the shallows and wouldn’t even look at anything I was throwing.

    I don’t think they’re done with spawning yet and the lake always goes into a funk when they poison it with the annual herbicide spray. It should only get better and better.

    Those bass were not cruising the shallows, they were sleep swimming…

    Would have fun to be out there last night with the full moon and clear skies. Darn work always getting the way of my fishing.

    Let me know when work isn’t in the way, Patrick. It would be fun to get out there and chase a few.
