Trout streams were crowded in the 2020 season, so I explored other fishing opportunities. I hadn’t been bass fishing in awhile so I loaded up the fly rods and hit the road.
When I arrived at my destination I found no one fishing. I had not fished this area before, so I tied on a tried and true Wooly Bugger. I waded in at a boat launch and spotted a nice looking log. I smacked a cast right next to it and let the fly sink for a couple seconds. I gave it a pull and the line went tight. Out of the water shot a nice looking largemouth with typical largemouth head shakes.
After landing and releasing the fish I took a moment to look around. I noticed a large back channel upriver with occasional boils. I ran back to the bank and hustled upriver. Wading out carefully I began to cast near structure, and the largemouth party was on. The only thing that didn’t have a good time was my Wooly Bugger.
It was a hot and muggy summer evening. Occasionally I had to swat a mosquito, but the fishing was awesome. The bass hit the streamers hard and the aerial head shakes were super fun to watch. It was a great way to spend a couple hours on the water.
The bass were energetic 
If you like streamer fishing and having huge sections of river all to yourself then try bass fishing on the Snake River.
