Did you know?
·     10 of the top 25 largemouth (or black) bass on record were caught in San Diego County lakes, including one of 20.25 pounds at Lake Hodges in 1985? 
·     the bass per angler ratio at Lake Barrett in southeast San Diego averages more than 15 per day?
·     that Ned Sewell of the SD Fly Fishers caught a bass approaching 14 lbs on the fly
·     GSFer Dennis Ditmars, who passed away 2 years ago, holds several world line class records for largemouth bass on the fly, all from San Diego lakes?
 
Florida-strain bass were introduced into area lakes over 30 years ago, and fishing has not been the same since. San Diego has a world class freshwater bass fishery and yet few fly fishers have tried it.
 
Conway Bowman, the lake manager at Lake Hodges, owner of Bowman Bluewater, and
rising fly fishing TV star, has fished largemouth bass plenty with a fly rod, and is offering a one day clinic at Lake Hodges.
