Kirk Dietrich 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2013 Whether a bass says to himself, "oh, this is a little bass, I'm gonna eat it" or not, they liked this little guy this morning. This 15"er was the biggest, most of the others were dinks but it was fun. Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

panfish 12 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2013 What is the pattern you were using? I know it was a baby bass fly but was it a popper or a streamer? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kirk Dietrich 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2013 Yes it was, Thanks Piker. Panfish, its what I call the Rabid Dog. You can see more pictures and updated directions here: http://onthevise.com/flies/rabid-dog-280 Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heavynets 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2013 I've caught a ton of LM bass on this Baby Bass streamer. I didn't realize that bass were so cannibalistic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kirk Dietrich 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2013 A friend of mine makes 12" swim baits painted like bass and has caught bass as small as two lbs on that thing and up to five. The bait looks like stuff I typically catch on the fly rod. Good looking streamer. Thanks, Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ditz2 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2013 I really like your bass streamer. Is the lateral line tied in last? ......Back in my spinning and bait casting days I always had a lot of success on crank baits of various shades of olive and white bass patterns. Yes, for subsurface I like olives and whites and so does the fish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heavynets 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2013 My streamer is made entirely of white (clear) Super Hair or sometimes called Supreme Hair. I then color it with permanent markers. No color was used on the belly of the streamer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
