Hybrid Bass on the Fly

Messing around this afternoon at the Lake Bistineau spill way and caught five nice hybrids. This was the largest of two.

I had not planed on doing serious fishing but I got into them and had to bring them home to the kids and wife.

I started out with a four pound leader in hopes of a few chinquapin. I caught one small hybrid in the process and then proceeded to break off three times in a row on these slabs.

I didn't have a heavier leader with me so I scowherd the bank and came up with an tangled mass of what must have been 15 or 20# mono. Recycled it into a nice 6ft leader and went to work.

Took me about an hour to catch the five and I left them biting. Waded out with them on a nice limb prepared by a beaver. good times.
