T-2000 Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Anybody target bass on a fly rod? I'm thinking about taking the plunge myself, and I'm curious to hear from members with experience in this department. What kind of setup do you use? What are some of the strengths/limitations of this approach? Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted May 30, 2009 Super User Posted May 30, 2009 Search the site. There are some good threads. The greatest limitations are depth you can fish (FF is a shallow game), lack of versatility in presentation methods, and speed and efficiency at which you can cover water. That said...FF is just a great fun and challenging way to fish. I love it. It's addicting. With ingenuity you can adapt to a fair amount of fishing, but IMO FF shines in shallow cover. For cover free situations and stream smallies a 6 or 7wt is about right. For most LM fishing an 8 or 9wt is what you'll need to pitch those bulky flies. Quote
T-2000 Posted May 30, 2009 Author Posted May 30, 2009 Thanks for the info. That's pretty much what I was expecting. I'll try to dig up those old threads. Quote
