I don’t freak out until they start going over 20” lol. There’s lots of bass in the 17-20” range on this river system though. Size and numbers on this trip were comparable to an average day fishing a stretch of the river this time of year. It was just a lot more fun catching them this way!

This video is from a trip a couple weeks ago and I was wishing I had grabbed a picture like that for a thumbnail. Hadn’t seen any mayflies since then until yesterday when I was pulling myself through some thick vegetation on the river and saw one single mayfly sitting on a blade of grass. I had to grab it for a quick picture lol. It was slightly smaller and more yellowish than the ones that were out in the video but I figured I’d go with it.

I’m sure you could Texas rig one. The smallies attention was pretty much all at the surface though with the mayflies buzzing around. They’d wise up after I’d catch one or two out of a school and I tried switching to a jig or wacky worm a few times to catch one more out of the group but they had no interest.
