Took the new 6wt Clearwater outfit to the San Gabe this weekend and finally broke it in. Caught one off a laydown and two off beds, which was surprising. Threw a black/white conehead streamer and killed it right in the middle of the beds...they couldn't stand it. Largest went probably 3-3.5 and it was a TON of fun on the 6wt...safe to say I'm hooked on the fly!

Welcome aboard...nice bass

Great stuff nice way to break in the rod

very nice!!

Now that you are hooked, make the addiction even worse. Get a light 2 to 3 weight rod and see the fun go up exponentially. Last summer I went out with my son in law and grandsons to fish some ponds. They started out catching bass on plastic worms. At first I was having no luck until I changed to a steelhead fly I had picked up, thinking it might work for bass. I was using a Redington Butterstick glass rod, 6'2" 2 weight, with a WF3 line. After switching flies I caught 15 bass, most in the 2 lb. range. I had a ball and really impressed my oldest grandson. Now he is ready to come with me down to the Hill Country in May and try flyfishing for himself. I live in southern Oklahoma, but fished the Gabe and Brushy Creek last September. You certainly have some nice waters in your area.
