Fly of the Week #2- Baitfish Minnow

Smallmouth Bass- Either that gets you excited or it doesn't.  Central Washington is loaded with fantastic, highly under utilized, fisheries in the Columbia River, basin lakes and the lower Yakima River.  Our fly of the week is a simple baitfish imitation tied and sold by the Montana Fly Company.  It's a pretty simple pattern and the white color is very popular with fish and the fishermen/women.  It's worth buying a few to take out into the basin and testing the waters of some of the popular spots like Potholes or Banks.  Hint: Looking for a lake with little pressure and monster bass?  Drive east of the shop 30 minutes... or stop by and get the scoop.
