Fly fishing for bass is an exciting way to catch them. Bass, compared to most other gamefish, will eat just about anything: crayfish, aquatic insects, sunfish, mice and other rodents, shad, minnows, and frogs, to name a few. Because of their diet, they are one of the most adaptable, and, therefore, most widely available species for fly fishing in the United States.
Is there anything more exciting than seeing a bass ambush your fly not a moment after hitting the surface? The Fly Fishers’ collection of surface flies for sale include all sorts of different poppers, sliders, divers, and imitation mice to appeal to large and small mouth bass in any potential fly fishing environment.
Bass will go after dredging flies & patterns as well. The key to effective subsurface bass is figuring out the attitude of the fish, negative, neutral or aggressive and present the fly accordingly. Keep the rod low to keep slack out of the line and strip strike to get better hook penetration. Crayfish are a huge part of a bass’s diet. We carry imitation crayfish flies to work subsurface when surface flies aren’t working. Choose a subsurface fly and experiment with retrieves to get the bass to eat.
