Nearly everything has come together perfectly for the Lake Somerville whitebass spawning run to be much better than average for 2022.
The rain fell in sufficient amounts through the new year to bring the creeks and lake to levels that make the run possible and even better than in years past.

J-Moe and I have had some early success in January with a minor rise in the Yegua but the numbers weren't there yet until now.

So it's time to fill the freezer! Head to the Lake Somerville State Park and get yourself down the the Yegua!

Neat video. Good job on catching some fish and the production of the video.


Side Note: Jamie is a "Fish Catching Machine" !

Enjoyed the video.

Good video!

Nice!

This is one of the best whitebass seasons on Yegua creek in at least four years as the conditions came together just at the right time.
We have been following the whitebass all winter as they progressed up into the creek on the way to the spawning waters.
The bass are about to get the party started with both males and big females way up the creek.
This clouser type fly is what we have had the best luck with so far. The tactics to find and catch the bass have changed as the fish become more active and the water warms and clears.
The spawning should start any day now and that will require another adjustment to catch these fish but you won't catch any sitting at home!

Fast and easy tie for whitebass...

but we don't live by whitebass alone...

Neat videos.

Nice

meanwhile back on the creek...
