Hi Guys. I used to do alot of fly fishing for bass. The problem is that you catch smaller fish most of the time. We used to live on a farm and had 3 bass dams that were well stocked. Even if you could see decent size fish and cucked a fly at them, a small fish would pop out of nowhere and smash the little fly.... very frustrating!

That is very Frustrating but the chance of one of the big boys taking it also existes. It seems as thoug a fly can get fish to bite when they would not take something thrown with a bass rod. Think it might be the softer presentation and smaller flies. Plus its much more fun playing a fish on a fly out fit than with a reel with a drag.
Im going to a farm in belfast stock with florida strain bass, leeubank, for a long weekend at the start of july. How is bass fishing in the winter? As you can see im more of a catfish angler but fishing is fishing and any fishing is better than no fishing.
Gonna be fly fishing and normal fishing and got all the lures and stuff. Just want to know if bass are active in the winter?

Was in Dullstroom over the week end and iets very cold. Great fortrout crappy for Bass. We cought trout on massive olive Rabbit strip fish imatations and on dry DDD mostly.
Tried for Bass and ended up catching a trout on a fluke. I would rather stick to trout as trying for bass puts you up for one hell of an expencive trout week end. Trout do not survive being cought on bass tackle.

In that case cool man. Fish deep and slow in the mornings look for drop offs and action in the shallow water in the afternoon. Try fishing near rocks, they bake in the sun and retain heat. Bass cuddle up with them as we do with a hot water bottle. Also pitch into open patches of grass.
