The beach at Sliema. Unfortunately this was the only day that we could have bathed in the ocean. Every day after this it poured with rain, very unusual as the island only gets 20 inches of rain in a year.

Bass on a Fly – Orvis Guide to Fly Fishing welcome to the Orbis guide tofly-fishing I'm your host Tom Rosenbauerbass are the number-one sport fish inNorth America and for good reasonthey're readily available aggressive anda lot of fun to catch best of all youcan catch them virtually anywhere inboth rural and urban settings heck youcan even catch them in Central Parkcatching bass on a fly rod is so muchfun and anyone can do it in this episodewe'll discuss all the basics you need tocatch bass on a flybecause this is the way to capthis show has been brought to you byOrvis sporting traditions Ontario yoursto discover Ontario's Algoma region whoare huron and superior meetingI love catching bass they strike hardthey jump and there are a lot of fun tocatchespecially on a fly rod I know that manyof you already fish for bass usingplastic wormstopwater lures and hard baits wellfly-fishing is similar it's all aboutfiguring out what the bass are feedingon we use different types of flies toimitate these food sources for bass thenpresent them as naturally as possiblethis can be anything from imitating afrog or a mouse on the surface to fliesthat replicate bait fish or evencrayfish underwater and some bass fliesdon't look like anything in particularthey just look good to eat the key is toget the fly near a bass and make it looklike something alive doesn't really takemuch to get started in fly fishing forbass you need an inexpensive rod outfitand some basic flies then you're inbusiness bass are often aggressive andopportunistic and will attack anythingthat looks alive you don't really haveto worry that much about fly selectionand that's why bass fishing is a greatway to get started often this action isall on the surface which makes it thatmuch more exciting because everything isvisualbut first let's discuss the physicaldifferences between largemouth andsmallmouth bass and also discuss theenvironments they inhabitdifferentiating smallmouth andlargemouth is simple if the mouth onlyextends to the middle of the eye it's asmall mouth if the mouth extends beyondthe eye then it's a large mouth bodymarkings are also a giveaway largemouthare green and have a defined blacklateral linesmallmouth are brown or bronze withvertical black lines and usually somehorizontal lines on their cheeks tounderstand the environments bass live inat different times a year I went rightto the expert my friend Dave PhilipDavis spent his life studying bassprofessionally as a biologist and alsochasing them with a fly rod largemouthand smallmouth bass are similar in a lotof ways but they do have some subtledifferences in the springtime as thewater warms they move into the shallowsone to warm up sobecome more active and they look forfood items as well that are also tryingto warm up so minnows and frogs arealong the banks in the springtime andthey're looking for those they also aremoving in to spawn as the watertemperatures warm up they're done withspawning smallmouth tend to move intodeeper cooler water more so thanlargemouth although both you could getalong the shallows at dawn and at duskthe largemouth hang out in the lily padsand the weeds and the shallows all yearround in the sticks etc so they alsotend to go into different types of waterlarge mouths like darker readier warmerwater small mouths like cooler watereither flowing streams or in deeperwater off of rocky points so in the heatof the summer you need to look in deepwater for smallmouth sometime shallowerwater for largemouth back in the fallthen they'll get more active in theshallows and move in and feed heavilygetting ready for winter so they can beoff deep points feeding on minnowsfollowing minnows up at night into theshoreline etc and so it depends on thetime of the day the time of the seasonwhich species you're looking at butyou'll still be able to catch fish youhave to consider two factors whether thebest can be caught below the surface oron the surface the answer is based on afew simple factors what the bass arehunting for in terms of forage and ofcourse the impact of weather time a dayand time of year if you haven't fish forbass before these are things you'llquickly learn the key is we have twochoices of presentations to make with afly rod either on top or below thesurface most of the time you can catchbass on subsurface flies just like withconventional lures bass love Dee minnowshed even juvenile bass if they can baitfish provide a lot of nutrition for abass which is critical for theirsurvival there's a wide variety ofconventional lures available thatimitate various baitfish based on shapecollar and action bass flies are thesame they're also made to replicate thesize collar and relative action ofbaitfish the only difference is that theFlies are made from feathers fur andsyntheticswhereas lures are usually made fromplasticwould the same comparison applies forother food sources for bass things likecrayfish mice and frogs some people tietheir own flies but you don't need to dothat you can buy already made flies fromyour local fly shop or online catalogstore you just need a good generalselection based on the kind of bass foodthat's in your area so let's discuss theequipment needed for fly fishing forbass the best all-round rod for bassfishing for largemouth and smallmouthprobably an eighth weight you need aneighth weight because you need a heavierline to drive some of those bigger fliesmore air resistance flies like hair bugsand big poppers and and big big hairystreamers now if you're only fishing forsmall mouths you can use a six or even aseven weight because the flies are alittle bit smaller and it's not reallydetermined by the size of the fish it'smore the size of fly you're fishing andlarge mouths figure more air resistanceflies small mouths smaller slimmer fliesin general for bass fishing you don'tneed an expensive reel your reel ismainly going to be used for storing yourline you don't need an expensive dragsystem for bass because they seldom pullany line the best fly line to use is asimple weight forward taper which willhelp turn over the large flies used fortop water bugs to learn more aboutproper bass equipment setups visit theOrvis website at or viscom so now wehave some of the basics of bass fishinglet's look at how to apply these basicsto rivers streams and lakes it's reallyeasy to understand and I know you'llhave a ball doing ityoucome on up babyyeah sometimes you have to go deep for abass days like this you've got to godeepvirtually every large city in NorthAmerica has ponds lakes or rivers thathold bass the first thing you shouldknow about bass and rivers and streamsis that generally large month thesmallmouth will seek out different partsof moving water largemouth bass willusually be in the slower we tier deepersections of a river especially aroundlogs roots fallen trees and weed bedssmallmouth can tolerate faster movingwater and will be right in the currentor riffles they'd like to hold behind infront of boulders rocks along banks andespecially around rock ledges they canalso find cover around fallen trees andlogs but they like it to be a little bitcloser to moving water generally is easyto locate bass on small creeks andrivers it'll be pretty apparent wherethey're living on larger rivers whichare actually almost like lakes it's alittle bit tougher and you have to seekout the structure I guess what I likeabout stream fishing for bass is thatthey're usually easy to locate find ariffle running into deeper water or somestructure and you're bound to find smallboats small streams and most rivers areeasy to fish from the bank or just bywearing waders and walking in the waterunlocker you'll probably have to use aboat again look for structurethat'll hold an attract bass and putyour fly as close to the cover aspossible searching for bass on lakestakes a little more thought in researchthere's a lot of big water in most biglakes that'll be empty of bass so youhave to determine where the structure isand where their food supply might be onlake structure is key especially if it'sclose to deepwater bass like deepwaterbecause it provides security from theirpredatorstructures that you should cast toinclude docks boat houses rockyshorelines shoals fallen trees weed bedsand any other kind of structure thatwill provide cover to the bass you alsoneed to consider what the bass might beeatingyour powers of observation can help alot with this when you wade into a riverand notice lots of small crayfish alongthe bottom that's a pretty goodindicator that bass will be keyed intoeating them so a crayfish pattern willbe best bass love crayfish it also meansthat you should be casting to rockyshorelines where the crayfish are mostlikely to be living you can get it tosink straight on it good you got it allright he ate that crayfish pretty wellthey love minnows they love leeches theylove insects big insect larvae butcrayfish are their number one prey youcan never go wrong fishing a sunkencrayfish fly to a smallmouth beautifulfish don't have to handle them one waygoes smallmouth bass you know althoughalthough we'd like to catch these smallmouths on the surface the middle of abright day fish are in pretty deep waterso we're fishing a crayfish fly and yougot to be careful when you fish acrayfish fly you want to throw it beyondwhere you think the fish is and thenstrip it back and let it drop strip itback and let it drop and watch the tipof your floating line because that fishtook it on the drop is they usually didand all I saw was that line dart forwardand then I did a strip strike and therewas the fish slide out the hook on theother hand if you see minnows jumpingfrom the water pretty good indicationthat they're being chased by predatorslike bass if you see this it's a goodidea to switch to a streamer fly thatimitates a minnow and it should beroughly the same size and shape as theminnows you saw it jumping cast rightinto where you saw the minnows jump youmight be in for a surpriseyou don't need a wide variety of fliesfor smallmouth bass first and foremostis some sort of crayfish invitation likethis one here it's weighted gets downnear the bottom and you fish it withtwitches or just sinking to the bottomone of the most popular flies forsmallmouth bass is a black wooly buggerimitates hellgrammite switch they feedon in streams very heavily also could bea crayfish imitation or some sort ofbait fish or lychee invitation but smallmas love a black woolly bugger thenmaybe some sort of trout dry fly likethis big stone flight they will come upfor insects and some big some big troutsized flies will work for smallmouth andthen a couple of surface flies a sliderlike this white sneaky pete this onedoesn't make quite as much commotion inthe water and then finally a popping bugone with a face that pops that make somenoise in the water smallmouth oraggressive feeders and they will come upfor a for a popper that's worked fairlyaggressively across the surfacebecause largemouth bass there's suchvoracious predators they'll eat almostanything and they got a big mouth sothey can inhale some pretty large fliesthe Flies are gonna use probably alittle bit bigger than they use forsmallmouth some of the popular ones aresome sort of streamer this one happensto imitate us a sunfish and sunfish arenot only prime largemouth bass food butthey're also nest predators onlargemouth bass so they'll they'll graba sunfish when it gets near this is atwisty tail with lead ice doesn'timitate anything really it's a lure justlike a bass luretraditional cork popper is one of themost fun ways to catch a largemouthparticularly mornings and evenings whenthey're when they're near the surfaceand in shallow water they need a lot offrogs this happens to be a deer hairfrog great fly for largemouth fun tofish and then finally who could golargemouth fishing without a mouseimitation they lots of mice and smallrodents so now we understand more aboutrivers streams and lakes and where basswill live in them we've also discussedusing our powers of observation todetect what the bass may be eating nowin the next segment we'll discuss castand retrieves to tie it all togetheryouin fly fishing the line propels the flyin spin fishing casting the lure propelsthe line to the target it's important tounderstand you don't need to make longcast to catch a bass on a fly simplecasts of 20 to 30 feet will be finenow let's visit my friend Pete cuts arefrom the Orbis fly fishing schools forsome tips on casting big bass bugs inthe wind hi I'm Pete coots are from theOrbis fly fishing schools today we'regoing to talk about tips on how to castin windy conditions when can be a littlebit intimidating for some folks tryingto cast that fly in the in those windyconditions can be a little bit difficulthowever there are some things we can doto help deal with that wind a windcoming at you a wind coming at your noncasting shoulder wind coming at yourcasting shoulder or behind you there aredifferent casts we can do for each oneof these situations let's start off witha wind coming directly at you a windcoming straight at you is not the worstwind to deal with there's a couplethings we can do the first is make a lowangle cast and get below the wind if wecan send that fly out underneath thewind we can deliver that fly to ourtarget watch shore birds when they'reflying around at the beach they almostfly between the waves there's a lot lesswind down low another option is to makea high angle back cast and drive thatfly down through the wind down to thewater you don't get the bestpresentation when you're making thatcast but it can help deal with thosewindy conditions when you're dealingwith a wind coming at your non castingshoulder I'm right-handed so if thatwind was blowing out my left shoulderwhat I might have to do is compensatefor that wind a little bit I can sendthat fly a little bit more to the leftof that target hopefully that wind willblow it on track or just like with thatwind coming at me I can cast below thewind making that low angle cast andgetting that fly out to target if I havea win blowing at my back that wind canbe a little more difficult than youthink you want to make a low angle backcast and get that line underneath thewind make sure that line gets out niceand straight then we can make thathigher angle forward cast the castalmost looks a little bit like an ovalwe're going to make a low back castbring the rod tip up than a high forwardcast to deliver that fly out to ourthe worst one you can deal with is awind blowing at your casting shoulderwhen you're dealing with that wind thatcan in some cases blow that fly rightinto you hooking yourself I've hookedmyself in the neck in the ear in theback even in the rear end it's not verycomfortableso there's a couple techniques onetechnique is actually taking that rawtip and angling it over your left handshoulder make a high angle cast and getthat line off your shoulder above youone friend used to describe it ascombing your hair comb your hair that'sgoing to keep that fly off of that leftshoulder another technique is to switchhands practice casting with yournon-dominant hand I practice all thetime and it really does help in thosewindy conditions but perhaps the easiesttechnique to deal with those windyconditions at your casting shoulder isto simply turn your back to the wind andmake a back cast delivering that fly tothe fish that's going to keep that flywell away from you keep you nice andsafe and help you catch more fish tolure more casting techniques visit theOrvis Learning Center for moreinformation and videos okay so now we'velearned some casting techniques for basslet's discuss retrieves that helpanimate your flies so that they imitatefood items that bass prey onnow all these flies worked very well butyou have to do your part you have toanimate the fly so it looks to the basslike something it wants to eat animatingand retrieving a bass fly is the funpart of fly fishing for bass becauseyou're making it look natural with yourown emotions the best way to give actionto a bass fly is to keep your rod tiplow and give it all the action bystripping the line at various speedsthere's a real tendency when your bassfishing to twitch the rod tip to givethe fly action and that creates problemsit throws slack into your line you'regonna miss strikes and you're not goingto be prepared for the next cast so ifyou can it's hard to do but if you cantry to give that fly action you what bystripping the line and keeping the rodtip low to the water you'll really getthe same action and you'll always be incontrol of your fly when you're fishingwith a sinking line you want to try alldifferent kinds of retrieves you can'tsee the fish you don't know otherreacting to the fly so sometimes youwant to do long slow strips just barelycrawling that fly along and really longstrips so that the fly goes steady othertimes you might want to give it sharplittle wraps or you might want to reallyrip the line back in and everything inbetween so you you've got experimentit's usually best to change yourretrieve before you change fliesyoujust like catching bass withconventional tackle when using a fly rodfor bass you have to understand thesefish how they live how they eat how theysurvive what they do during the day andwhat they do throughout the year butthis is part of the fun of fly fishinglearning how they operate within theirecosystems I encourage you to readeverything you can about bass and watchvideos to learn more about how to catchthem catching bass on a fly rod is justa blast they're available to almostanyone within just a few minutes driveof home I hope you'll try it out with afly rod I know you'll enjoynot hard to figure out why bass areAmerica's favorite game fish and they'regreat on a fly rod you don't have tocast very far you don't need a lot offancy flies you don't need a lot offancy equipment everything I've got herefor catching bass cost around twohundred dollars a complete fly rodoutfit for catching bass and we'rehaving a ball today you too
