Double-Digit Bass Techniques

North Texas guide Robert Woodruff leaves the deer hair at home when fly fishing for the big largemouth bass in Lake Fork. The reason: the big fish just tear it up. “‘The most important thing to me is from the time my fly hits the water, I’ll have the top guide of the rod in the water so that there isn’t any slack in the line,’ Woodruff said. ‘As soon as I detect a strike, I’ll jerk the line straight back towards my body.'” Lynn Burkhead in The Herald Democrat.
