    The Bob Ross of fly fishing!

  • @paulburrell1062

    Back in the 80's I had fished with a fly rod for 15 years and caught many bream-my favorite to eat. One day, it occurred to me that I had never caught a bass. I went to the local library (this was years before the internet) and read a book on Fly Fishing. It stated that bass were more skittish than other fish and that the presentation was different. I had been working the lure almost immediately after the cast and gave it 10-12 seconds before moving to a different spot. The book suggested waiting 45 seconds to a minute for the bass to run off and come back. I went that afternoon to my local pond and tried. I caught 7 bass in a row by just using a different and slower method. This was an eye opener for me and I hope it helps someone else that loves fly fishing.

    The first fish I ever caught on a fly rod was a smallmouth bass at Quabbin in Massachusetts. As a youngster, I was thrilled to no end.

    I first learned how to toss a fly when my stepmothers father took my to Blairsville Ga. back in 1991. I've been hooked ever since. 1st fish was a 12in rainbow. Last fish was cought this morning . 6lb large mouth bass on a poper. He was on the bed. Kept my lil deer hair right above him till it pissed him off. Love these videos. I always learn something new.

    I just started fly fishing about 3 yrs. ago so I'm basically a novice. I moved to Frankfort, KY. 2 yrs. ago and discovered Elkhorn Creek from a local cano/kayaking store. The smallmouth are fantastic and very plentiful! I just recently started trying poppers and had tremendous success. Many thanks for your video on fishing with poppers!

    • @ffg8736
      @ffg8736 6 років тому +1

      I fish the elkhorn from time to time-- although finding good wading spots can be difficult because much of the good waters are private property. I tend to stick to the large mouth in farm ponds scattered around the west side of town. Catching on a fly here is really easy because not many people do it.

      ForFunGaming , I connected with Canoe Kentucky at Peaks Mill by chance and all there have been fantastic! I ended up fishing with a couple of their employees who are a great help. I ended up buying a Jackson Kilroy model fishing kayak from Canoe Kentucky and it has opened up an entirely new world of fishing for me! They also rent fishing kayaks. So, if you're ever back in my area give them a call or get in touch with me and come enjoy some of the best smallies you can find!

      If you're just starting out, a basic WF line will do what you need. As you get more advanced and experienced, then we recommend you consider a bass design taper which helps you cast larger and wind-resistant flies. Both lines will work on lakes or rivers. Good question, thanks!

      Good question, depends upon what level of angler you are. Some spin anglers who want to fish just for bass, really only need a basic reel. However, they want to get more into fly fishing and angle for different species, then they should invest in a reel with a good quality drag system. Thanks

    If the bottom lip of a bass is red that means it’s eating food off the bottom

    Great video, but way too many ads. Does Orvis really need the pittance revenue from ads?

    Black Bass are like toddlers: easily distracted, remarkably durable, and they'll try to eat almost anything. The difference is that bass aren't so good at shoving things up their noses, and people normally frown upon fishing for toddlers.

    However it's a artificial fly or Mouse whatever you try it's artificial. So I think they should allow it

    I stopped fishing for bass do to the fact of them not pulling drag and being too ready to fish.

      I love how people from the north talk trash about bass 😂. I guess when the biggest bass you have in your lakes are 2 pounders they don’t pull drag😂. Come to Florida try to fly fish and you will get your little fly rod broken by a Florida bass.

      5lb bass on a 4wt with a 4lb tipet....that will make your heart stop. And the DO pull drag. I've been flyfishing since 1991.

    Catching bass on a fly rod? Just why on earth would you want to? They pee through their skin,a lot like bass fishermen themselves.

    How to catch bass on a fly rod? Same as any other time; get a boat. Yeah, if you have that kind of change to throw away. Reality check, please. Even an inflatable pontoon costs a ton of money, let alone jonboats like the ones used in this video.
