Thanks for joining! Always had an interest in trying fly fishing. I purchased on eof those all in one kits from Walmart for $30...big mistake I think. #-o

:WELCOME: so are you saying theres other flys than just poppers :lol: I hardly ever fly fish but when I do I only use poppers

 

[redbelly hunter]

thank to u all for welcoming me to the forum. yeah there are hundreds of other types of flies. u got drys, wets, nymphs, and streamers. ive caught lots of bream and bass on dry flies and streamers. but i was just wondering if anybody had any luck with anything i didnt know about. oh and thank for the replies.

I've done well with small single hook streamers for Bass.... say size 6 long shank, patterns that imitate baitfish rather than insects.

Nothing beats a Muddler Minnow for an all around go to fly! And Bass are no exception!!!

Haven't had much luck with Bass on dry flies or nymphs, but I really don't use these to target Bass so my opinion probably doesn't mean much.


oh and there is nothing wrong with a $30 fly rod kit from Wally World to get started... I bought my father in law the Shakespeare combo 4 or 5 years ago to get him started. Eventually he moved on to more sophisticated setups, but that rod did absolutely fine for a year or two!

Wooly bugger,Black nosed dace,Mickey finn,Zonkers as mentioned Muddlers
Had good luck with a Mayfly nymph a couple years back now.

man... I've done realllllly good with black wooly boogers in the coosawattie up in elijay - and I can't fly fish worth a flying fly

I have been Fly fishing most of my life.
Down here in the south, I've never caught a Crappie on a fly. I did get some small Bass and those danged Stripers though.

I want Crappie....not Bass.
I have to settle for wierd looking jigs for Crappie.

I dabble in flyfishing a bit. I haven't been doing it long, but I love it ( I've been getting into tying my own flys too).
I mainly go for bass (only because there is a Bass pond about 500 yards from me), but I'll take whatever is biting that day. That being said, I LOVE my poppers, but I've had luck with different streamers like zonkers, wollybuggers and wollyworms (I think EVERYONE does). I also really like Black Ghosts, and Grey Ghosts. And after that, I do use some dry flys like elkhair cadis, adams, and other typical flys. But like I said, if you haven't given the different Ghosts a shot, try them...
Good luck.

I got the gear but have never learned.This year I hope to.

I rarely venture away from poppers, wooly buggers, and wooly worms. My bream and bass aren't as picky as trout so I keep it simple.
