Catch Bass When They Are Off Guard

At this time of the year many large smallmouth feed at night. Here are some tactics which will help you.
1. Select a section of river you know well.
2. Fish downstream so you can feel the strikes.
3. Use 2X Leaders so you do not break the bass off on the strike.
4. Use barbless durable flies so you don’t have to change them in the dark.
5. Carry a good small waterproof flash light.
6. Plan ahead where you will exit the river to avoid old barbed wire, steep banks and poison ivy.
