People always crow about how difficult trout fishing is…in my opinion, it pales in comparison to largemouth fishing with a fly rod. For trout, the worst you can expect on any given trip is a funny bow and arrow cast into some tight area. With bass, there are docks, brush piles, laydowns, weed beds…in the dead of summer, many shallow water bass post up in spots that are literally impossible to reach with a fly rod. My brother is more adventurous than I am in that department. He keeps a fly rod in his hand all year. Once bass season starts in earnest, I’ve retreated to my baitcasters, jigs, flukes, etc. Tweaking a dry dropper rig is about as sophisticated as I’ll ever go with my fly rods.
I have a friend I met years ago fishing he actually did bass tournaments one day he tried fly fishing for bass and he never picked up a spinning rod and reel or bait caster again he’s hooked on fly fishing for bass ties his own flies and what not and he’s bad I am in a good way
I just lost a really nice bass earlier using a frog. The flyline was kinda worn out and it stripped the whole leader off the flyline. A little bit of neglegance on my part really costed me
The animations this channel uses are so helpful for what to look for
The animations this channel provides are so helpful.

I always tell myself to take a break and fly fish bass for my channel, but brook trout forever have me hooked.
Awesome! Thanks!
See my fly line is a 5wt wight forward floating line on a 11wt rod I just change the length leader and tipet

cliffhanger end there.

Lol my fly line has spots where the coating coming off I still fish it
Why is “orvis” blurred out sometimes but not others?
