Super User J Francho Posted October 13, 2010 Super User Posted October 13, 2010 This fish, caught by my friend Tina on a fly: http://challengeseries.kayakbassfishing.com/challengeseries/uploads/25%20inch%20bass%20caught%20by%20Tina.jpg Tina ties her own, and her results are amazing. She's pretty much dedicated to the fly, though throws a frog when the time is right. Holy smokes, I can't imagine catching that on a fly reel. Bass are relative pussycats. Can you imagine this on a fly? Quote
RandySBreth Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Yeah, Bass (especially Largemouth's) aren't gonna fight as hard as that beast. Quote
Knot Right Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 I love bass fishing with a fly rod. In fact, there are many times when it is the most effective way to fish. For example, when working a ditch that goes through pads or other veggies, or a line of standing wood, you can make a cast and give it three or four bloomps or twitches right along the edge and then pick it up and move over a foot and do it again with out retrieving the lure all the way back to the boat. I especially love doing this from the kayak in shallow water while sitting side straddle or wading after sneaking in the kayak. Chad Quote
NateFollmer Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 J, keep it in your pants... Oh, thats a fish! I need to fly fish where you do... Our browns are wimps compared to what you've caught. Knot - that's true. I love putting nymphs through deep, quick pools. Just drop it, let it go down stream, pick up the rod, flip, repeat No need to cast every time. Half the time when I run 'tandem' nymphs, I don't cast because I just create a mess Quote
