Sure, you can catch bass using the traditional methods like bait casting top water lures, flinging out spinner baits, stick baits, plastic baits, jigsyou can Texas rig, Carolina rig your baits and jerk and twitch them over the sunken logs, through the weeds and along the docksidesand you will catch bass; most of the time, small bass.
But, with each cast of your chosen bait, you are full of intense anticipation, just waiting for the water to explode with each turn of your reel handle where you catch a glimpse of that 8 pounder exploding through the waters surface then zipping away as your reel sings and your rod bends double! But that doesnt happen very oftenthe good news is, it can happen a lot!
How? By adding fly fishing to your bass fishing arsenal. Consider these facts:

Monster bass grow lazy but remain very alert and intelligent. Trophy sized bass like to lie suspended just below the water surface where they can easily pluck off any food that hits the waters surface.
