Fishing Streams Is Often Overlooked

Many fisherman watch all the bass tournaments and shows on espn and other outdoor networks and think they need to be fishing large lakes to catch quality bass.  I’m from an area that really doesn’t offer much in the way of quality fishing lakes or ponds but we have an abundance of small streams and rivers.  While most people I see fishing these rivers are usually after catfish and the occasional panfish they are overlooking the small mouth and large mouth bass that these bodies of water hold.  Lots of fisherman think you need to fly fish in streams but that is just not true.  Ignore what you see on television , grab your fly fishing waders

, spinning rod and tackle selection and you will be surprised at the amount of bass you can catch.  Using live baits like night crawlers or crayfish work especially well in landing nice sized small mouth.   Look for streams with rocky bottoms that have a decent flow and you will be sure to find a bass lurking just outside of the main current.

Fathers Day Is Perfect Time For Fishing

Each year I hear how my kids have struggled coming up with ideas for things to do for me on Father’s day.  This year I took the initiative and told them what I wanted.  I want to take the day and go fishing with my family.   I usually make my trips to the local pond by myself as most of my kids really don’t care to spend time waiting for a bass or bluegill to take the bait.  I figured this year I’ll spend the time with them on Father’s day not fishing but rather teaching these bass fishing beginners the finer points of casting, lure presentation and other techniques that will hopefully make it more enjoyable for them to join me on a regular basis on my fishing trips.  There is nothing more discouraging that taking a kids fishing and not catching a thing so if your kids are up for the challenge teach them what it takes to become better fishermen.  Happy Fathers Day all.
