Good stuff, and I have two fly rods..... That I know nothing about! One is a Shakesphere 9', that's supposedly from the 60's. I only have an old fly reel, and don't know anything about line or how to cast a fly rod. Maybe you have done videos of how to set up a fly rod for fishing. The number system, for the rods I have, don't appear to be in use on them.

I have never fly fished for Trout. I bought my fly rod specifically for finessing fishing for Bass. And I love it. Living up in Minnesota, I'm always hitting the Mississippi River and small river channels. Them smallies are pretty aggressive. Sometimes they hit it as soon as my fly lands on the water. And you're absolutely right. Accuracy is key. But I tell you what, many times it feels like I'm fighting a large rock! A few times, I would have to walk backwards just to help reel them in. LoL.

Ga. recently and looked forward to the trout fishing. Well long story short, the deepest,clear water reservoir is 15 minutes from my driveway. I'm talking walk to the truck,15min. later, the kayak is launched and I'm casting in 3-2-1..... Hey, 'ya want to review kayaks as a casting platform, this place is great. I believe you'd like it. Largemouth, spotted, hybrid and stripes. Also kinda weird, some enormous carp. If you're ever this way, I'd like to know. I do like showin' off the home waters.

I really liked your discussion about how bass fly fishing techniques carry over to making you a better saltwater fly fisherman. So true. This is the best bass fly fishing video series on KZfaq IMO. Your videos are refreshing in the way that you discuss technique, presentation and equipment when almost all other videos just show fish after fish caught without any discussion about the how and the why. You are a great teacher . Keep teaching us and making us think. Thanks.

I fished a retirement turnimate that some guys from work out together. They all laughed at me when I pulled out my fly rod. They all needed tissue afterwards. I had 14.7 with four fish. Three other guys caught fish, but only one each.lol I love it when that happens. It isn't very often. Loved the video.

Lived in Colorado and Montana most of my life so ya fish trout a lot . Spend time in Alaska , Mexico, Belize get to enjoy all of that . But my parents lived in Florida , so many years ago when I went to visit I brought my 6wt to fish a lake by there house . Bag ! big large mouth bass , I remember the first one I caught it scared the crap out of me it killed a popper . Now I look for places that have bass although it’s a little Tuff here I have found some places relatively close and love to fish them . Only thing I did different going back to visit my folks was bring an 8wt , bass seem to really like to hang out in cover when you hook them it’s nice to have a little more rod to try to keep them from getting deeper into it so you can get them out .

I use many rods from a 4 wt. for panfish to a 6 wt. for river smallies and an 8 wt. for largemouth bass. I agree with you about more casting leads to better casting.

I'd say for the darker water if it's dark because the water is stained, stick to natural patterns such as Light brown or olive! NOW if the water is dark due to mud or debris Id try to find what the body of waters smallest but brightest colors on its baitfish are, because if its small but bright i can guarantee those bass are zoning in on them! and if it's super muddy and the bass aren't hitting your fly (that being whatever, Game changer, bunny leach, Bush whacker etc) try to maybe go to a crawfish pattern or maybe a worm pattern/tye and if fishing bottom doesn't help, whip out some poppers like a Baby bass pattern for those elders to zone in on or just a straight up hopper fly!!! good luck!!

I can grab plenty of blue gill and sun fish but just can't get those dang bass to bite. Admittedly most of the time I prefer top water or dry flies so that might be the issue. Question, when blind casting with a wet fly do you always feel a solid tug when they bite? I'm wondering if I'm missing the hook set.

My preference is floating lines, but depending on the time of year we use sink tips when we need to get down. Since we are mostly in rivers, we don't use full sinking lines very often.

Alvin Dedeaux great video, looking forward to this series. To go along with Andrew’s ☝🏼 question on fly line, is there a particular kind you prefer for Bass fishing? Like maybe Rio’s Bass line, Jungle line or Tropical Outbound Short, etc?

Lots of people fish for them in the salt on the east coast. I haven't ever tried it.

is a 5wt rod inadequate for bass fishing?
@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing2 жыл бұрын
Your 5 weight will work fine. We use them for bass on the smaller streams. If you start throwing bigger flies or target bigger bass you can step up to a 7, but I say use what you have. Good luck!
