Hey all,
I have been fishing French Creek up in NW PA. This stream has a great Small mouth bass population with some of the bass being really nice fish. But, try as I may I cannot catch them with Wolly buggers, and streamers. Any suggestion? I did manage to catch a small one yesterday on a #10 nymph type pattern. I did tie up some hellgramites on some size 4 hooks yesterday to give them a try.
I have watched the smallies chase my streamers only to have them get close and either stop chasing them or do a lightning quick taste of them and spit them back out before I could set the hook.
Any one out there that is good at catching these fish? Any information/suggestions would be appriciated.
Greg
