a note

[poacher]

recently seen bass follow stain steel swivel tyed above plug think they would have taken small 1inch fly

[guernseybass]

yup,

had them follow the white braid loop between my fly line and leader before too.

in skinny or clear water bass quite often take small flies - i had a couple last year on blue and white streamers of about 1.5". i was imitating pin sandeels. it worked.

a couple of the uk lads have also had great success this spring with pink or pink and white clousers in the same size - on 6 or 8 hooks.

i think they use beadchain eyes.

Mark.
