Gearing Up for Bass on the Fly

Bass are THE most popular sport fish in the country. There's a lot to love about chasing bass, no matter where you call home. Their eats can range from aggressive and alarming to subtle and technical. Prolific fighters, they're measured in pounds, not inches.
In this video, Rick Mikesell at Trouts Fly Fishing breaks down the necessary gear you need to start pursuing bass with a fly rod. From rods & reels to fly line and accessories, we're here to get you set up and ready to get after chasing the ole bucketmouths and those acrobatic smallies on the fly.

Yo! I don’t know shit about fuck, but I love fly fishing and I love Trouts! I just moved down south from Colorado and I have my Colorado set up. Scott Centric with a Ross Gunnison 5wt. I started fishing down here not knowing what I was doing and my buddy mentioned buck tail. Five minutes after I got off the phone I was hooked with a good bass on a clouser. Then I started tying poppers and that’s a different world all together! The first night throwing poppers hooked a generous bass and some stupid bluegill. The moral of the story fish hard and evolve! Also watch these videos! These guys are awesome and at best funny! Thanks for the help with making this activity worthwhile! No matter what o will always watch 5 flies! Rock on Trouts!

Sort of sounds like you do you know, Curtis. Thanks for the support!

[@matthewspink7704]

Bravo! Well done! However, you did mispronounce the species of that Grim Reaper fly. It’s pronounced “crawfish” 😉

Your Abel reel has been thrown off bridges… oky doky… No need to exaggerate… Abel is nice but they charge $700 for a spare spool, double what other manufacturers charge. In my opinion there not worth that.
