The morning started off cold, but the day and bite both warmed up nicely!
I caught this largemouth today at Smith Mountain Lake. My 50 year old scale said it was 3lbs. At 19 inches and fat, I believe the bass felt like it was plus 4 pounds. Time to replace old scale with something new and hopefully more accurate.
The bass was released safely.

Over the winter, I hope to return to fly tying, after 45 years and attempt to fly fish the bass on SML

Back in the day, I used plenty of white and red tied to a jig head with a silver foil coated hook. This was used as my bucktail fly/jig to striper fish in NJ.
I also made streamers using similar material on hook.
Natural hair was used in my dry flies.
My concern is my eyes are not what they used to be, but I will give it my best shot!

I hear you on the eyes. Not sure I could still do a royal wulff in a size 26 any more.

Nice chunky one Bob. Never been to SML. Talked to a couple guys that did. If I remember right I think the big boys had a tournament there many yrs ago. I've heard it's big deep n tough to fish. Any truth in that 👍👍
