Riverhill Fly Report 4-9-07

texasbasser · 04-09-07, 08:47 PM

Went for about 2 hours today and had the best fly fishing day of my life.. Started out with 1 dink of 5 inches,

then a rock bass that got hit by a 5+ pound bass as i was bringing it in

You may be able to see the injurys on him if you look close enough...

then this 11 inch Crappie exploded my streamer, fought pretty good.

After this, I come to a small "swampy" area that I have fished many times before with NO luck, not even seeing a bass or bluegill. Well, hat spot is one of my favorites now.

5 minutes later this bass hits, a little smaller.

Got late and had to head home, but I will be back to this spot for sure

nice job!!! are those your biggest on a fly?

texasbasser · 04-09-07, 09:19 PM

yea, they smashed my old PB on fly.. how big do you think these bass are? I didnt have a scale or tape and im bad at guessing, but the biggest bass around 4?

You gotta get someone smarter than me to guess weight, but those are nice fish, congrats and thanks for the pics!

Nice!

This one was 3 pounds 2 ounces.

texasbasser · 04-10-07, 06:51 AM

ok, mine is probably around 3-4 pounds then.

I like catching those Warmouths...they hit just about everything and they're some stout fighters on light line. Good job on those fish!

man, those are some exellent fish! congrats.

Nice Texasbasser. It must be nice fishing in Texas. It's like you catch a 3-4 pounder on a fly rod like nothing, and I have to fish forever just to catch a 3 pounder.

And islandflyfisher, that is a strange bass.
