And this coot followed me around and went surfing in the current, for who knows what reason. I guess animals have phylogenetic reasons for doing the things they do, and it looks funny to a bystander when the behavior is taken far out of context.
-- Oh, so about the bass -- I no longer believe that "eyes" help bass flies. I also don't buy into the "throw 'em big stuff that really pushes water", etc. That crap is ill-suited to casting with fly tackle and doesn't work any better than basic marabou and unweighted bucktail patterns. You really lose the real benefit to using fly tackle with that nonsense. When a bass is ready to hit something, I don't think it makes a bit of difference what is on the end of your line.
All the usual stuff out there biting, and I had the place to myself Fri and today. 2 of my 3 sets of breathable waders leak now, but that's part of the game.
BTW -- a 7' fiberglass fenwick in the 6WT configuration is about as good as you can do with fly rods. Great rod. Nothing they've designed since is as good -- I'm done with graphite unless I need to travel.
