Has the runoff got your favorite creek or river looking like a bad case of the "green apple splatters"? But you still want to get out on the water this long weekend AND you want to stay close to home...you know, family obligations. Now is the perfect time to dismount the trout horse and chase some bass! There are largemouth bass in almost every local pond or reservoir. If you have always been just a trout fisher and the heaviest rod you own is a 5 weight...oh, well. Take that rod out, put on a 9 foot 2x or 3x leader and take out some of your larger trout streamers. They all will work!
Bill Leuchten and I swung by a local pond the other day (picking up his boat to head to Antero Reservoir in the morning) and we spotted some fish. I happened to have a rod handy (imagine that!). We made about 8 casts between the two of us and landed 3 small bass!
