Delawhere?



I have yet to intentionally go bass fishing with a fly rod. I usually end up going carp fishing and as an added bonus, get a shot at a few nice bass. This usually occurs during down time or on those days when carp are no where to be found. I find myself having a lot of these days recently despite the previous posts full of carp glory. My golden bones stomping ground in the state of Delaware is not ideal for sight fishing with a fly rod. Therefore, I started targeting the bass more frequently. I have been rewarded with the two largest bass I have ever hooked. It has been enough to catch a sort of bass bug that I never thought I would catch. Every once in awhile I find myself thinking of a largemouth below the surface of the water inhaling a popping frog two feet off the shore before burrowing deep in the weeds. Who knows, maybe I will start targeting bass more often.

Nice fish dude. I've always been the other way- targeting bass and fishing for carp.
