The Bass Lessons That'll Make You a Better Trout Angler | Ep. 180

The Bass Lessons That'll Make You a Better Trout Angler | Ep. 180

Trout aren't the only fish to catch on a fly rod. From bass and pike to panfish and tarpon, there's almost no end to the critters you can catch with this style of fly fishing. Doing something so different from what you're used to, though, will definitely throw you for a loop - just like it did to Alex and Spencer. They just went on a trip to Florida for some bass fishing, and got some time in on the salt as well. What they learned made them realize just how much there is about fly fishing they don't know. And perhaps most surprising were all the lessons they observed that can help you be a better angler, no matter what you fish for.

You'll also learn about:

  • Tips for targeting bass on the fly
  • How to cast streamers with sink-tip lines
  • How to fish high, dirty water that you often get in runoff season
  • Whether you should add floatant to cripples
  • How flow rates and water temperatures impact fish behavior
  • The aspect to change first when trying to match the hatch: size, shape, or color
  • Whether fish see the blue light spectrum, and the impact that has on fly choice
