Bream Mad Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Hi Raiders, A quick session on Sunday morning with my beloved 3wt produced excellent results at my local Bass stream . Got their abour 8am and rigged up a #12 Gibson foam hopper. Flyfishing is tough in this water due to casting obstructions so moved to a more open pool packed with submerged weedbeds and rocks. I cast out as long as i can and just let the hopper sit next to snags with the odd twitch, nothing happens so I start a 'popper like' retrieve and it is just nailed of the top by an aggressive Bass that feels pretty heavy . He drags me though the weed beds but my leader holds and i get him to pose for a few pics before release. Wow he goes 33cm and in prime condition, a new PB for me, stoked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
