Bass Busters By Mike Leuenberger Today’s fly fishing techniques and tackle for bass are far more advanced than they were years ago, making it easier than ever for fly rodders to catch bass and pan- fish. I wouldn’t bet that fly fishing for large-mouth bass is the most efficient way to fill a stringer with fis But I will say, tangling with two or three decent bass at dawn or dusk will be enough to keep you in touch with life’s finer aspects. You’re going to need a little heavier rod so you can muscle the big old bucket-mouth out of weeds and out from under water brush, eight-foot, six-inch to nine- foot rod, nine-to-eleven line weight will be ideal. The nine- foot-eleven weight rod, with lots of backbone, is suited for casting large flies and bass bugs, hula poppers. When using a hula pop- per after you make a cast, wait for the ripples to settle then start a slow retrieve, popping the fly and stopping, then starting a slow retrieve popping the fly and stop- ping it several times on your retrieve. ‘The reel doesn’t have to be any- thing fancy. A single action fly Indian River Outdoor Adventures reel will suffice. It has functions other than holding the line while bassing. I prefer two lengths of leaders, one for murky water, another for greenish or clear conditions. In murky water, a four-foot leader will do. The leader being used should start at 20 Ibs. and taper down to 12-Ib. test. When water conditions are clear, taper down to 6-Ib. test tip- pets. When you're fishing for wall- eye, bass, northerns and muskie, cast out a four-to-six inch floating minnow plug over weeds, boul- ders or fallen trees. Rip the bait a couple of feet through the water as fast as you can, pause, then haul back again. Fish usually clobber your bait when it stops and you hook them on the next sweep. Because you rip downward or off to the side, a short, 6-foot action bait caster, spooled with 8- to-12 Ib. test will work great. Good luck and happy fishing.
