smalliestalker 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2009 I went out today for a few hours.....it has rained for the last two days on and off....my usual stomping ground was high and dirty......made for some challenging fishing....I managed to catch and release 7 all together....here's a few pics...the fly used is here as well...tied it last night...it's a clouser half and half with a spun and clipped deer hair head....I figured I would need to move some water to get there attention.....worked like a charm....

feathers5 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2009 Nice fish, Smalliestalker. I'm not up to date with my Clousers and I've never heard of the Clouser Half & Half. We've had very little rain here in West-Central, PA. The creeks are very low and clear.

openking89 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2009 I believe they can cross breed and it sounds like you caught a hybrid - Large/Small mouth bass... you can call it a Lall bass or a Sarge bass... Thanks Chris Brow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smallieFanatic 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2009 Actually those are smallmouth bass, not a hybrid. Check the coloring and markings. Nice fishes stalker, some of those are real bruisers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smokinprice 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2009 Some great looking fish. This summer has sucked for us in Maryland as everytime it rained it messed the rivers up. Just when it was almost clear, it would rain again. I didnt get to do nearly enough smallie fishing. Again, great looking fish you caught. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
