Large mouth bass from the middle Bitterroot River |
Update!!! Above is only part of the story. When I asked Jack more about how he caught this bass, the whole story came together. They WERE fishing the trico hatch until it was done. When the day got warmer and sunnier, they switched to the 9 wt rod and pike flies. They were fishing for pike in a slow section near a backwater and they caught this bass there. So that is the rest of the story. My apologies for not getting all the info in the first place. (Merle)
Impressive! I've never seen a bucket mouth sip Tricos.
ReplyDeleteHack, you are very kind. You reminded me I need to rewrite this. When I talked with Jack, he was very tired and didn't tell me the whole story. They were fishing for tricos and when the day got warmer and sunnier, they switched to the 9 wt rod and pike flies. They were fishing for pike in a slow section near a backwater and they caught this bass there. Sorry about that. Thanks for commenting so I can fix this post!!!
