Bass

We’ve had several days of warming, a couple reached 80F! If it keeps up look for bass to start their pre-spawn mode, as they get active more places to fish will turn on! Its a good time of year to look for the places that warm quickly and carry a thermometer. Water temps can vary depending on where you are look for temps closer to 55 or higher. A slow jig or retrieve seems to be the key, flies fished under a bobber is also a great way to go.

Flies

Carp

We’ve been getting into them in the ditches. Flows are still low and the sun warms things quickly, getting the Whirligig Beetles and other insects going. Water clarity is pretty bad where we’ve been fishing so take it slow, a fleeting glance or small ripple may be all you get to see of them. Look for muds that look different than the already muddy water and get your fly in the top end. The feeders have been aggressive and are chasing and pouncing on our flies!

If it keeps warming we can get out on the flats!
