Show i October Bass October bass are in the shallows. In the wholly unpredictable sport of bass-fishing, that statement is one of the very few which will absolutely ab-solutely stand up. October bass really are in the shallows, and it is at this colorful time of the year that the smart angler with casting or fly rod manages to get the utmost sport and fullest creels by prowling the shallows of lake or stream. During this time, too, the usual procedure, as regards time to go fishing, is reversed. While early morning and late afternoon periods pay off best for the midsummer angler, in the fall this condition is reversed. For, during this time, the bass wait until surface water has warmed from the chill frost of the evenings before they begin working the shallows for food. This means that the hours from nine or ten in the morning until two or three in the afternoon will be most productive. produc-tive. For either the, fly rod man or the plug caster, surface lures will be found best, although the small, underwater lures, with lively action, ac-tion, will also take their share of bass. But most experts prefer the fly rod and a bug of some type as the most effective lure. One should approach the fish area quietly, making as little disturbance dis-turbance as possible either on stream side or in the water. As most anglers know, there are far too many fishermen who "wade where they ought to be fishing" and vice versa.
