[cool]Hey, Nate, good to have you drop in. I just want to add a "qualifier" to the comment about sparsely tied. When fishing wooly buggers below surface...or hair bugs on top...sometimes a bigger profile will work better. But, when the bass are chasing fry in the shallows, they are usually used to seeing only a small profile...since many minnows have a degree of camoflage...and even transparency. Overly dressed streamers will work, but the skinnier ones cast better and are more natural.
That's all a part of the mental database. Each trip it can be something new. But, based on water clarity, temperatures, depth and fish activity, you have to figure out what is going to work best and how to present it. Keeps things interesting.
Did you get your new water toy?
