I'm addicted to bass fishing. I need help. I haven't seen my dry fly box in almost a year. My poor 5 weight hasn't seen the light of day in just as long. My fly tying vise hasn't seen a hook smaller than a 2 in months and months. I don't know if I even remember how to get to the Provo.
I made a two hour drive out of SLC to a nifty little spot (can't say the name, I'm sworn to secrecy - although everyone here knows about it) and launched my pontoon. Olive/Green Senko's were on the menu it seemed, along with white/chartreuse spinner baits and buzz baits. I threw flies all day long as well, but couldn't piss a drop with poppers, streamers, deceivers, etc. All in all, it was a good day and I brought 20 Large Mouth's to the boat. I was kicking my way back to the car and decided that I would tie on a brown woven Larva Lace wooly bugger. I was 20 feet from the dock and not even paying attention when I went to reel my fly line in... whammo! Biggest and best fish of the day, which turned out to be the biggest LMB to date -- on a fly that I tied as an after-thought with scraps of left over materials. Boo ya.
20" (although skinny as sin)

And a lot of STIB's (Standard Twelve Inch Bass)
