Make Your Baitcaster Fly! — www.bassresource.com — Readability: "The following is a series of observations based on my experiences with reel maintenance, tuning and upgrading. I do not do this professionally. I work on my own reels because I enjoy it. I started to do so a long time ago. I had to. When I got my first “real” reel, the deal was, I had to maintain it myself. If I wanted any more good equipment I had to demonstrate that I was capable of taking care of what I had."

Gotcha! — www.bassresource.com — Readability: "When I go out fishing on the lake, I often remember a game my mother taught us, and I played with my sons. You get down on your hands and knees behind a door and wait until someone walks by, lunge out and say "gotcha!" The reason I am telling you this is, bass do this all of their lives."

Small Waters, Big Bass — www.bassresource.com — Readability: "Do you remember the pond or small lake where you fished the first time? Many of us do. We fished small water as children and those memories can be as wonderful as the ones we've created on any lake we might fish today. Tanks, small lakes or ponds were the places that we explored in our youth, the places where we learned about nature - the real birds and bees from a kid's perspective. If we didn't catch any fish, we'd fish for crawfish or just play by the side of, or in, the water. There were lots of things to see and do there."

Hair Jigs — www.bassresource.com — Readability: "Iaconelli reaches for a hair jig when things get tough.

Hair jigs are considered an old-school basic bait, and are almost forgotten.  Everyone has seen them, and yet few use them.  The first time I saw one, I thought it was for salt-water use, or for crappie, or for some other species; but it’s really an unbelievable bass bait – especially under super tough conditions."

Bobber and Jig Fishing for Winter Steelhead: Tips, Techniques & How To | Riptidefish

Bobber and Jig Fishing for Winter Steelhead: Tips, Techniques & How To | Riptidefish: "Fishing with a float and jig has become one of the most popular methods for catching Winter Steelhead. Float fishing is one of the easier techniques to master, making it a perfect option for anyone new to fishing on our Northwest rivers. And while some really do consider this a beginners technique, most expert anglers realize the effectiveness and are float fishing converts as well. While fishing with a float (or bobber) is often identified with lake fishing for smaller trout or panfish, we clever river fishers have infused that simple buoyant apparatus into our world of salmon and steelhead fishing."
