I've been fly fishing for years, but have really just started targeting bass. If I could pass along anything, try to reduce the number of false casts. Like you found out when you had a knot in your line, even imperfect casts can produce fish, so play every cast like you're going to hook up. The second thing, try not put your hand above the cork handle, it changes the intended flex of the rod and can cause the rod to break.
I love fly fishing. I bring it when I go fishing for catfish for something to do while I wait! Always amazes my friends as they never fly fished before. I always offer to teach them cause it's really not that hard! Awesome video man
Just got my first fly setup today and some gear. Took it out before sunset because I couldn’t wait, and to my surprise, it wasn’t too difficult. I was mentally struggling thinking I’d never get good at it but it was fairly simple with a few minor tweaks I read and watched. Needless to say I caught 2 bluegill and a bass out a pond. That’s a golden start for me!
I had a TFO BVK back in like 2013 and I LOVED it! It was a 6weight and I got to bring in some huge smallies on the reel. One of the best days of fishing of my life. When I joined the military I didn’t have the locations to use it so I sold the whole outfit :/. Something is badass about holding a rod that weighs like a feather and dragging in a large bass on it! Hope to get back into it someday. For no I use a lews Mach 1 baitcasting rig when I have time to go out
Found a no.8 Berkley Buccaneer in mint condition at a flew market last week. Putting a vintage Orvis 7/8 with 7 line on it for bass. Can’t wait to get out there.
I’m from Wise Virginia! Love your videos! I mostly fish for any kind of bass. Just any type fish actually! But loved this content an keep these coming. I have just as much fun watching you as I do actually fishing! 🐟
When your reeling in the fish and you have all that line out, you need to palm the reel to get the line back in while fighting the fish. Just pinch the line on the cork with your finger while palming the reel to get the line back on the spool. Then no issue's with the birds nest in front of you while your fighting that bad boy. If he/she is big and runs you are going to lose it when the floating line hits that first eye. Not to mention your reel should have a good drag system and can handle the pull. Get all that extra line back onto the spool and let the reel handle the rest...assuming you have a 3 or 4 pounder on using maybe 4x leader. Nice Fish Sir!
4:40 that is how you end up with a 5 piece TFO rod rather than the 4 it was made as.. It's super easy/convenient to grab the rod higher up to bring the fish in, but you really have to be mindful to not do it, otherwise you'll end up snapping it. And again around 7:10.. making me nervous for you. keep the base of the rod in your left hand, point the tip up and behind your head to keep the line tight while bringing it closer, then reach out with right hand and grab the line
First time I fished with what I had for a fly rod (old casting reel and casting rod) wading chess high in a pond listening to bluegills smack poppin bug. That was 60 years ago.
Caught my first fish on the fly yesterday. First fish was a 2lb bass, caught 12 fish total with the biggest being 3lbs. It's crazy how much harder the fight feels on a fly rod. I got a 6 weight to use for bass and trout. Man I can't weight to get back out with the fly rod again.
Learn the double haul. I noticed when you thought your cast was short of where you wanted it,you yanked it out to recast. Fish it out. Then recast. Not being critical, just some tips after watching. Nice fish
Caught a nice bass and blue gill on the fly my first time out targeting bass. It is awesome. What fly did you use in this video? I used a clouser minnow
Hey you got advice for when I fly fish my bait always ends up coming off when I cast out I’ve looked up some good ways to Ty it on but it always comes off

I am so jelly. I have tried catching a bass with a fly rod but haven't caught anything bigger than like 14-15 inches. The other day I caught a small one and a big one swallowed it and spit the poor thing out. It was still alive but all its fins were messed up.
I caught a skinny bass yesterday day so I caught a bluegill really quick and it just so happened to be perfect size for him to eat him and trimmed his fins and put it in the basses mouth and released him and watched the bass swallow the bluegill. Felt bad so I fed him
Ok... So ive been fishing bass large and small. I use craw plastics. Top water frogs and bugs. Soft plastic swimbaits. Crank baits. But i always see these monster bass jumping at nothing. What are they jumping at? A little weeee fly? Blows me away.
My dad and grandfather didn’t let me cast a spin rod until I was well into high school. For any species, trout, bass, saltwater. All on the fly, still only use a spinner once every few years.
I haven’t been fly fishing in a very long time. I know it’s pretty expensive getting into it and I’d rather spend money on traditional bass gear. THAT SAID, is there a decent beginner fly setup that you’re aware of that is on the less expensive side of things, but is not just a cheap POS? I think about the Abu Garcia Black Maxx with bait casters. A fine beginner setup that isn’t the best quality, but is pretty darn serviceable at a more modest price point. Anything like that for fly fishing that you’re aware of?
Hint from a fly fisherman. Never ever...put your bloody fly on the water while trolling or sitting about. I had a 27 inch pickerel roll on a popper and swallowed it. Nearly took my rod and reel. I got it in net before it spit the hook. Personal best.
Come on fletcher fly fishing we don’t wanna see that my guy I understand you can’t make videos like that cause of work or school but give us something that we wanna see you and noah or you by yourself with big bass and drop two videos a week
Fly fishing is the most satisfying bass fishing ever
Just got my first fly rod about a month ago and love it. Really enjoy fly fishing for bass.
Gotta love catching bass on the fly.

YES FINALLY FLY FISHING

Yes, all the fly fishing!!
Shoulda been throwing the frog popper out there too man ! Coulda joined in on some of the top water action 🐸
Nice Bass on the fly rod. All I do is fly fishing
Man, that bass hitting the fly while literally fixing your line was awesome!
Just started to learn fly fishing. Thanks for info into learning a little more.
It always helps.
Great video. Would love to go bass fishing in the US. But for now I’ll stick to fly fishing trout in the UK.
Great video Fletcher. You two work well together. Thanks.

That pond would be awesome if someone put some forage fish in there like shiners.
Oh man. Bead head wooly bugger in olive with sparkle. I've caught so many bass that way
We need more of these fletcher!

Thing about fly fishing for bass in texas especially with wooly buggers you catch all kinds of species bass,panfish,sandbasss,drum and even catfish.
What a Tornado ? Just bring a fly rod !!!
Had a pretty good summer fishing for bass with my fly rod… time for trout
Great vid! Are you using a sink tip?
Learn the double haul. I noticed when you thought your cast was short of where you wanted it,you yanked it out to recast. Fish it out. Then recast. Not being critical, just some tips after watching. Nice fish
If it wasn't you, and crew I'd fast forward and move on...just a visit no like no comment..it's the Fletch n Krew !! keep up the great uploads!
Great job 👏
Came here from Noah's channel but I was more interested in the fly fishing!
Caught a nice bass and blue gill on the fly my first time out targeting bass. It is awesome. What fly did you use in this video? I used a clouser minnow
Looked like a white bait fish imitation. With red to make it seem like a hurt fish. Probably a shad imitation
Good video! Utilize your reel though for fighting fish. Unless it's a dink of a fish.
What fly do you have tied on there for bass?
What kind of boat is that
I'm jealous I only caught three bass on the fly. Only one I could keep.
Hey you got advice for when I fly fish my bait always ends up coming off when I cast out I’ve looked up some good ways to Ty it on but it always comes off

I caught a skinny bass yesterday day so I caught a bluegill really quick and it just so happened to be perfect size for him to eat him and trimmed his fins and put it in the basses mouth and released him and watched the bass swallow the bluegill. Felt bad so I fed him

My dad used to tell me stories of my great grand dad bass fishing with fly rod, I’ve always wanted to try but have never done it
go buy a cheap one and do it it’s way more fun imo
My dad and grandfather didn’t let me cast a spin rod until I was well into high school. For any species, trout, bass, saltwater. All on the fly, still only use a spinner once every few years.
What kind of fly is it respond thanks
You gotta work on that cast bro lol
How much are those small boats
I haven’t been fly fishing in a very long time. I know it’s pretty expensive getting into it and I’d rather spend money on traditional bass gear.
