Bass Time!

My fishing buddy and I went to our favorite bass lake 2+ hours into Quebec from Ottawa.  For me it includes an extra 45 minutes to get to his place.  So six hours of driving to get six hours of fishing.  That is pretty much my limit!  We got 15-20  each mostly LM. There is only one small spot on the lake where SM remain.  I guess the LM are crowding them out.  I have heard of competing species systematically removing  other species by targeting their young.  We think the sore spots on their mouths are males fighting with each other either protecting their nest or mates.  Most were caught casting to shore with a Stillwater line (intermediate).  I did try my dry line but switched back because you do need to get from one hot spot to the next.  Trolling a bit deeper was more productive.  My favorite fly for bass is the Mississippi Mermaid (cone head, green plastic chenille body and marabou tail).  I was catching them on a brown Coney Leech as well.  I don't think it matters much.  It has been a late Spring in our region and many reports of Bass still on their nests but these later spawners are not the desired reproducers.   The earlier spawner's fry have the best chance of survival.
