Thanks, I live in Palmyra and have yet to find the better spots on the Swattie. Sounds like I need to do some exploring more upstream. Brain, I'm curious about the fly in that smallie's mouth. It looks almost wormlike, but I'm assuming it's actually some kind of streamer. Would you be willing to share the design and materials?

no doubt indeed.
for every bass hooked, they have several others with it trying to get what the hooked fish has. i was caughting 4-7"ers like candy, each round the hooked fish had no less then half a dozen other bass with it.
the pictured smb had a monster with it....i was trying to let it throw the hook in hopes of having a go with his much larger friend.
the fly is what's left of a clouser pattern deep minnow...olive top, purple bottom red flash in the middle. these were the last two of the morning.....by that time there was not much deer hair left on the hook.
this is the clouser from these pix.
about 3.5"s long.

wading. there are fish everywhere in the creek.
i have a canoe, but have not had it this year yet.
might get it out yet though, a few of us from the shop are planning a "company" fishing trip on the creek.
