You didn't state what type of bass you are after or the stream bed structure. (gravel or mud). Either way I have a great time catching smallmouth and a few largemouth with Berkley power grubs (pumkinseed,pearl, or black work best) with a lead head. If you use a three inch grub tear off the first couple of ribbs to shorten the length and get the hook closer to the tail. I also have alot of luck with the Rebel Teeny crawdad just watch those treble hooks!! Bass flip without warning!!. For added fun try ultralight tackle with 2 to 4 pound test. They'll sit on the downstream side of bolders and overhangs or anywhere they can find shade during mid day but will move to the rapids in the morning and evening. Good luck and happy fishing.
