Carey, it's no biggie. I guess I assumed when you said you don't ever use sinking lines that you hadn't tried one. Come to think of it, there is a creek around Somerville that has so many stumps that a sinking line would be tough but it was pretty shallow there too so not much need.

I was fishing the lighted docks. It was tuesday before Thanksgiving. Went down with a gentleman from the Ft Hood Chapter of Project Healing Waters. Started Fishing about 5:30 PM and was off the water about 9 PM. Total for the night was 8 White Bass that was dinner the next night, 7 Striper and 1 Hybrid that were all released. Stripers ran between 23-28.5" and the Hybrid was 20". And the White bass were all around 13 or 14"

I came across a passel of sand bass below Ray Roberts dam the other day - http://texasflycaster.com/buy-on-the-rumor-sell-on-the-news/ - after unsuccessfully chasing a rumor of crappie at the confluence of clear creek and the Trinity River. They were munching clousers for sure, but my colors were a little different.

What make/size are those circle hooks? .. update, 60 bend jig circle books at that!

That as I recall is a Mustad 39994D. Thanks, but I would trade that post for the one by mbarker68x! And remember, they will be drawing down Inks Lake at the same time as Town Lake --- anybody interested in checking that out around the 10th.? I'm there, as U2 says, "With or Without You," but I can live ...

All these posts and no mention of the Cypert Minnow? Here's my version of Cypert's Mylar Minnow. Should be a sand bass killer tied in white w/flashy mylar ... Charlie Cypert demo many years ago prompted me to tie his Mylar Minnow - about the simplest (and best) fly I ever tied.

You're allowed to use saltwater flies in the Roberts tailwater? (The white bass didn't seem to mind, did they.) Like the sparse wings on those.

GREAT fly there George :-) Agreed! Got a recipe for that thing? I'll be willing to buy some (cha-ching) if you are willing?? My river-white bass season is approaching...
