Firstly to say hello to everyone on this forum from a newish member. It is a great source of info and a big help, there is always so much to learn in this game. Thanks to all.
My post is a question regarding fly fishing for bass.
Now I have had relative sucess using lures over the years, and recently on soft plastics, but I have always wanted to give flies a go.
My question is has anyone had sucess in fishing a fly for bass, other than going the whole hog and buying a specific fly set up and fishing `traditionally` if you like.
It seems to me that you have two obvious problems :
a) Delivering the fly out to the fishing ground.
b) Presenting and working the fly to the fish in a correct, or rather lifelike and therefore successful, manner.
I have read articles where bubble foats have been used to deliver, but I am not sure for instance how this affects the actual working of the fly or indeed if it is really succssful.
Anyone any experience or thoughts on this and other methods?
Cheers
Dave
