I think I found your 4lb bass!! was twitching a big deer hair frog on the end of my fly line for about 10 minutes and the water exploded like a depth charge, what a fight!! I think my fly line has a longer taper on it now. had a good morning, was landing fish on every fly flick, even alot of 1' chub that were really fun. I found a spot where if you stand really still for a long time, some big bass will rest next to you and even swim by brushing against your waders.
as for the gar though, I've only seen 5 of them today, they were very wary and seemed rather offended to me being there, wanted nothing to do with biting on anything.
