The Bass Are Awake!!

Yesterday my son Jeff, caught several bass on the North Fork of the Shenandoah River running up to 18 inches. Hit the deep water and fish your flies along the stream bottom.

When your fly fails to turn over with the leader lying straight on your presentation casts the problem could be in your leader. If the tippet is too long or too fine you cannot make a good presentation. Keep your tippet between 2 to 3 feet long. The diameter of the tippet needs to balance with the fly. This formula simplifies that. Fly size divided by 3 (constant) = Tippet in X.
