My Crappie trip was ruined!!!!!!!!

by bass!

I am posting this as a follow up to my Float n Fly post last week.....
I got 'em wet.

Technique: not so Float n Fly
Rod: Dobyn's Champion 681 SF
Reel: Shimano Sahara 1000FI
Line: InvizX 6lb
Bait: 1/8oz bass colored Float n Fly jig

I was casting this jig without the float to the current breaks where all along this crystal clear river the fish stack up like cordwood. I started out sight fishing them but they hit them aggressively so I didn't need to sight fish, they hit them hard.

This guy was the first to introduce himself to my home made jig.

and ........lunker.

In all, I caught 43 bass today, pretty typical day for me on this river. About half came on the F+F, the rest were on a drop shot and a few on a wacky Senko. I caught this guy too......I do not know my sunfish....I think it is a red breast crappie? (j/k)

you sir are correct

I love that river and always wondered when there why more dont fish it. Next time a yak and some poles are going along. Thanks for sharing yer trip.

That looks like fun. Hadn't been on the Rainbow since I was a kid. Caught a few bass there but never caught nor seen a speck. Do they still have the "no disposables" rule there?

Yep and they check it very closely, at least on weekends when we have been there. Great law I think.
