Barbeque. Some fly shops serve hot dogs at their company barbeques, we however, like to serve very bright "fly caught" summer steelhead & spring Chinook. It's a matter of principal...and it's fun...and very tasty. And it's fairly easy. There are a lot of very bright hatchery fish in our local rivers. The fact the we are having barbeques through-out the season gives us the perfect excuse to go fishing |

.... as if we
needed an excuse. Rain or shine it's happening. |

Weedless Mega-Diver Bass Flies | |||
| Striped Mustard | ||||
| You kick along stealthily in your pontoon boat fifty feet from the shore of the lake. The edge water is shallow. The bottom tapers gently from one to five feet deep. A mixture of floating algae mats, elodea, grasses, sedges, cattails and lily pads provide the perfect large mouth bass habitat. The air is dead calm and mellow with morning sun light. All is quiet. | ||||
| Then there is a little quiver
in the grass forty feet away.... A bass is stalking something,
positioning for an ambush. You drop the mustard colored Diver
gently....three feet in front of where you think the fish's nose is.
There is no response to the bulky fly as it rests on the water...and
you think you might be mistaken, or that the bass has slipped away
unnoticed. Finally after several minute you barely move your
rod tip, just enough to make the Diver turn a little and wiggle the
soft silicone legs. Nothing can prepare you for the explosion
as a large bass charges from two feet away, bronze colored back out
of the water, white mouth wide open, and engulfs the fly with utter
savagery. You set the hook and the rod is yanked down hard.
You pull back with equal ferocity knowing that if you give the fish
his head he will ball you up in the weeds and be gone. The fight is ended quickly and the fish is released to grow even bigger. Your Fly Fishing Shop Mega-Diver is still in great shape. Then you hunt....for the next fish. |

| The Black
Mega-Diver is a quieter version of the Mega-Whammy Popper.
This sharp pointed, weedless fly crawls through the weedly cover
like a small animal foraging for food. The long seductive
highly visible silicone legs pulse with life. Strip hard and the fly
dives beneath the surface of the water with a loud gurrgle.. These Diver heads are Epoxy coated for shine and extreme durability! |

| The Striped Fluorescent
Orange Mega-Diver has to be one of the most lavish fly rod
bass lures ever made. We added a full size picture just so you can
get a better view. Don't let the garish appearance fool you.
This fly really does catch fish, probably because few bass have seen
anything like it. These Diver heads are Epoxy coated for shine and extreme durability! |

Mustard Mega-Diver is toned down to more nearly match
natures colors. The yellowish & black tones could be frog-like
or be a mouse or baby muskrat or a water dog or salamander. It could
even be a baby bird....mmm yum. These Diver heads are Epoxy coated for shine and extreme durability! |
