Thanks so much for the comments on NOT lipping large bass, I wish more people would learn this!

Why?

@KstrSM15 2 жыл бұрын

@@nathantidwell3197 Holding a fish by the jaw ("lipping") can damage or deform the jaw, especially if you hold it out horizontally. It's okay to lift it vertically to land it but support it underneath if you want to hold it out flat. Thanks for asking.

@bssaassin1900 2 жыл бұрын

While it is better to hold em with both hands in some cases you have to lip em and you hold the fish vertically straight up and down not at a weird angle. But yes a really large fish should be supported

Thanks for swapping to bass for those of us out of the trout zone. It really has been too hot to fish midday here in Texas, was 108 last week.🥵 Caught a lot of nice ones yesterday evening. One was 5 lbs on your slider fly! (Thanks for that video also.👌) This evening I’m going back, trying for a 10 pounder..if I can be Huge enough! 👍 Have a great week Ben 🎣

My favorite outfit for fly fishing for bass is my old 8 foot 6 inch Fenwick HMG with an 8 weight bass bug taper fly line, 6 to 8 feet of 20 lb. test leader and my old Pfluger Medalist. This outfit has caught literally hundreds of bass, and I see no reason to change.

Water temp here is in high 80's might hit 90ish today. Bass fishing is on hold til it drops, stressful for fish, and their skin gets frail, super easy to tear a mouth

Finally caught some decent bass on a fly rod, I didn’t weigh them, but the apron on my pontoon measurements said 16, and 18 “ ! So happy, and yes, I did use my trout flies to catch them! Black with gold wooly bugger and green with black and flashabou wooly bugger, let it sink and wriggle it in the mid where you think they are holding

It has been said that fishing the same water, a fly fisherman will catch more bass on a given day than someone using spinning or bait casting gear. The person using bait casting or spinning tackle will usually catch bigger fish, but the fly fisherman will usually catch more bass.

@fairviewhomestead 4 жыл бұрын

Ive been considering a 6wt for bass or a 7. How big do you get with your streamer sizes?? I feel like the 8 might be too much for where I am fishing. I like as light of tackle I can get away with.

@Charsept 4 жыл бұрын

@@fairviewhomestead I keep my flies on the smaller side. (Those worm flies being an exception) I stay away from the huge bass bugs and mostly throw the smaller streamers like Woolly Buggers, etc. I feel like the 6 weight is fine but I do sometimes think a 7 would have been the best compromise.

@fairviewhomestead 4 жыл бұрын

Charsept right on. I’m kind of leaning toward the 7. Might do a little saltwater with it as well.

@Sirskibumsalot 4 жыл бұрын

Put 9 wt. line on your 8 wt. rod ......a 9' ft leader , ( 4' of 50 lb. ) ( 2'ft.40lb.) ( 1'ft. of 25 lb. ) and ( 2' ft. of 15 lb tippet ) .Thats what I use for Smallies or large mouth Bass .....The heavier fly line will shoot out fast and long on your cast ..... and if you double haul even farther casting . Works excellent !!
