I believe that a fly fisher can catch bass on a lake almost any time the bait caster who uses surface baits can get fish — if he is a good fisherman. The bass are then feeding in the shallows or on or near the surface and that alone is a big advantage. Bass are most often found in low water early or late in the season and with a little cloudy weather and a good riffle on the water at these times the fly fisher has the most propitious circumstances. In mid-season in the full glare of the sun, with the lake's surface like a mill pond, the conditions are most unfavorable and the wise angler will then still fish, pitch horse shoes or go swimming until evening. Then, protected by head net and mosquito dope, he can carefully work along the shores and shallow places with some hope of success. After sundown is the best time of all for fly fishing a lake in mid-summer. At other times the best hours are very early or late in the day. |
