Bass fly fishing is definitely one of the most exciting when in comes to popular outdoor game or recreation in the US today. This is because the bass is one of the most commonly found game fish; you can find the bass species almost anywhere there is fresh water. Two of the most popular are the largemouth and the smallmouth species, albeit the largemouth are more common and therefore more sought after of the two.
Where exactly can fly fishermen locate the largemouth bass? This species just love to swim and stay in water areas rich in thick aquatic plants. Schools of largemouth bass stay most of the time along the edge areas of the waters, where grass and other water plants abound.
What are the best baits for angling largemouth? Frogs and buzz baits are few of the best in catching the large species. If the water areas have lots of vegetation such as grass, then it is advisable to use popper, which is one of the favorites when it comes to largemouth bass baits.
Largemouth tend to be more active when waters are cool. Therefore if you try to go and fly fish for some bass during the summer, it is best to hit the waters in the morning when the day is still not on its hottest. At this time, bass will be looking and eating its meal. Likewise, water is also cool in the late afternoon so this is perfect for some bass fly fishing.

Wet Fly Fishing: Simple and Rewarding
October 2, 2007 | Leave a Comment
There are few types of fly fishing, such as the wet, dry and nymph fly fishing. However, there are many who prefer to enjoy wet fly fishing if only because it does not make things complicated as far as mimicking live insects is concerned. Therefore, the wet fly is considered a favorite technique for many beginner anglers.

What makes wet fly fishing easier and even more rewarding to apply is because it eliminates the need for the precise imitation of any insect, like what happens with dry and nymph fishing. Suffice it to say that with the later two techniques, fly fishermen are required to have more skills and experience especially in fly imitation.
On the other hand, wet flies are done when you try to mimic insects as how they are in the waters. Wet flies are the imitation of insects’ movement and activity while in the waters. For example, a drowning insect is one perfect wet fly. Other perfect wet flies are nymphs or already dead insects in water.
As already said, wet fishing is the simplest yet most rewarding technique especially for the novice fishermen. Perfect casting or intricate techniques are not needed to catch and land a good-sized fish. It is therefore best to start your fly fishing hobby by applying the wet fly fishing technique.
