Cast ot the Second Bass

Often when you fight a smallmouth bass you’ll see a second one following close behind him. If your fishing partner is close by have him cast quickly behind your fish and frequently the second bass will hit his fly. Our senior guide believes the second bass is following the hooked bass to grab any food the hooked bass regurgitates. This could well be because I’ve often seen a hooked bass spit out a natural minnow or hellgrammite he has recently captured.
