remi74 Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Went out today. The stream was running faster and the bass were moving about in the riffles and backwater. Due to our heat wave, the streams have receded more than usual. The fish were sure enjoying their freedom from the heat and murky waters. I don't know why but this year has been awesome for me . . . at least in the way of catching bass. One interesting note, I was casting downstream into a swift current and popping my Flip-Flop fly against the flow - back upstream. AND the bass were hitting it. Not only was it a portion of stream that I have never caught bass in but I was using a technique that I figured was odd. I also hit some backwater on the edge of the stream which was grown up with weeds and grass. Lots of rocks and logs. The water had risen enough for the bass to chase minnows and crawdads into this somewhat shallow retreat. September . . . and I'm still taking lots of bass on top water flies.

troutbum479 Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I agree the Elk has fished very good this year. More quality fish then past years. We floated Thursday with good results on top water. arkmoflyfishing.blogspot.com http://okietroutbum.blogspot.com/
