Took an afternoon to just fish with my son and document some bass fishing. We just love getting on the lake together and casting flies for bass, crappie, bluegill, and anything else that pops up. It builds great casting prowess working the reeds.

He loves Bass fishing, he's a good fly fisherman but really good with a baitcaster. He trades off every other trip haha.

Blue is my go-to color when dragon flies are out. Poppers and slider both. I don’t know why, but I fly fish for Bass a LOT and blue is by far the most consistent producer for surface flies. And along reed lines, absolutely recommend using large poppers…. I’ve let them sit thirty seconds or longer before twitching the fly with great results. A variation of a Zoo Cougar though is my go-to pattern. A little more deer hair for the head, add some rubber legs, and you are good to go for surface/diving for Bass.

Excellent advice, especially about the long pause before the twitch. I'll have to start doing that if I can have the patience! LOL!

Awesome day, and some awesome fish. Lovely pond you guys were fishing. I don't know crappies, but they look super awesome to catch on fly 👍

Thanks, yes, Crappie are a nice bonus out there on the bass lake. Appreciate you watching, thanks for following.

A great fight, and awesome eating! Be careful with the delicate lips during the fight, one of their nicknames is ‘paper mouth’s’.

Great video and tips! The section with the reeds looks a whole lot like out Fla. lakes. I’ve always used hair bugs and poppers, mice pattern’s, etc., but never thought about dragonflies! I need to buy or tie a few and try them out. Great idea, thanks!

Thank you thank you, really appreciate the positivity. I have been shocked at how effective these dragonfly patterns are. It's almost like the bass see it as a challenge to catch them. They love this pattern.

@6:28, that’s a badass cast right there, that skip cast. I wish I knew how to do that. I’ve seen your other video on that particular cast but I haven’t succeeded in performing it correctly.

@redsflyshop Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the props, that cast is a bit of an enigma for many folks. It requires that you keep the tip high and move it in a concaved stroke so the tip actually ends and stops higher than it is in the middle. This probably makes no sense but just try casting straight overhand and dipping your rod tip slightly in the middle of the stroke.

Go watch Joe’s recent video on hopper fishing - great instruction on the skip cast

Love fly fishing for bass! Even better when you spend time on the water with a loved ones. Any chance of doing an tying tutorial on that Foam Slice? I've never seen one up close and would love to know how to tie one.

That's a good question, RIO flies Patrick Kilby ties this pattern. It's weighted to make it float and balance like a frog. Super cool pattern.
