Talk about fly fishing for bass, made me think back to a tactic I used when fishing heavy brush cover trout streams, many of u have heard of spin fishing with clear bubbles and flies, I did better with coventional baits for early season trout so the fly fishing tactic took a back seat..Until one season up on Schroon Lake up in NY state we noticed small LL Salmon feeding in small schools rite on the surface..Next evening we went out I took my old outfit out with me just to see if it would work on salmon..Didn't work, guess i didn't match the hatch..Went back to plugging the rocky shore line for bass..I decided to give the fly a shot..I had a Gold rib hares ear nymph on and a 17 inch smallie came flying out bout 3 feet in the air..Point is if u can't fly cast try this method..I lost count of the fish I caught over the years flipping to the shore, Lots of pan fish and rock bass I have to admit..But LMB &SMB all took the offering..Just simple tactic that could turn a slow day in good day...Use lite action rod, 4 lb test line and choice of flies is endless...BTW best to use the clear plasctic bubbles..
