With the first cool nights and days are predicted for next week and traditionally this marks the beginning of streamer season on the Delta. A lot of fly fishermen focus in on the stripers but not us. We start throwing Stage Divers over the weeds looking for the feeding largemouth. #deltabassbugs #bassfly #loonoutdoors #flymenfishingco #largemouthbass #largemouth #largemouthbassfishing #bassflyfishing #flyfishing #tugisthedrug #topwaterfishing #bassonthefly #largemouth #flytying #tyingflys #fluebinding #bassflyfishing #flytyingjunkie #norcal #freshwaterflyfishing #floatandfly (at Escalon, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiRJ99qr74e/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I have found myself with an unexpected 5 month streak of a Bass on the fly! Had to work hard for this one as but it made it all the sweeter when it came together.
Must-Have Fly Patterns for July
Welcome, fellow fly enthusiasts, to an exploration of bass fishing in Missouri’s vibrant waters during the scorching days of July. As devotees of the trade, we understand that choosing the right fly patterns is the key to unlocking piscatorial ecstasy. In this article, we embark on a quest to reveal the holy grail of fly patterns, meticulously crafted to tempt…
In the world of Fly Fishing, remote destinations, exotic species, and expensive gear is often the focus of a majority of the content you see. However, I think there is something to be said for the simplicity and the all around fun you can have catching Bass on the fly in your own backyard. Largemouth are one of the most accessible game fish on the planet and it doesn’t take any fancy gear to have a blast catching them. That’s why Fly Fishing for Bass is one of my all-time favorite pastimes and a huge part of the reason I got into photography and videography to begin with. Check out these photos I’ve shot over the years curated around Bass on the Fly.
Why must we answer the call of the water? Is it the feeling success as the slime runs through your fingertips as your so sought after beast returns to its depths? Or maybe it’s the challenge that presents itself on that misty cool morning, as the sun crests the untouched cliff? Is it the sound of the riffle? Or the feeling of the cold, intense pressure against the neoprene in your boots? Is it the sight of the brown trout, sipping your caddis from the meniscus of the surface? Maybe it’s the rush of endorphins that starts in your guts and quickly jets to the feeling of cork in your palm? The undeniable shake of the head, that quiver that deminishes the doubt. Or Could it be the solitude of each and every moment? Each moment spent somewhere in between being thankful to be alive and the anticipation of what lies beneath the next false cast? Maybe it’s each of these perspectives, all of the emotions rolled into the tailing loop of a perfect cast. Or just maybe, a unique and interdependent emotion....Mother sure has her way connecting, making one feel present and at the same time ever so distant. The feeling of being near and ever so far is her unique choice and yet give us grounded folk the feeling of content. Maybe, answering the call of the water isn’t a choice after all? Maybe it’s a yearning and a necessity. A deep diaphragmatic breath that fills your lungs, mind and dare I say soul to the edge of life. One moment passes and yet your still there. Feeling, hoping, longing for more of this so called life. This grounding provides me another day, another journey. I am alive!

J U M P • • • Bass acrobatics and a grab for the net. A high energy moment captured by @silvascalesntales a few weeks back at Barrett. This was one of those rare days when the fish were purging bait out in the middle of the lake. This guy smashed the fur and feathers. • • • #flyfishing #largemouthbass #bassonthefly #kayakfishing #hobiekayak #canyoncoolers #catchandrelease #jump #sageflyfish #galvanflyreels #scientificanglers #barrettlake #pigfarmink #shotoniphone #getthenet (at Lake Barrett) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEfuyfGjSvo/?igshid=11ib88vkx4h6r
Purple is a classic color that just catches fish and the purple Creeper under an indicator is always a good choice when it’s cold. #deltabassbugs #bassfly #loonoutdoors #flymenfishingco #largemouthbass #largemouth #largemouthbassfishing #bassflyfishing #flyfishing #tugisthedrug #topwaterfishing #bassonthefly #largemouth #flytying #tyingflys #fluebinding #bassflyfishing #norcal #freshwaterflyfishing #floatandfly #nikon #nikonz30 #z30 (at Escalon, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClH7kwqJjRR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One thing I’ve learned fly fishing is that it’s not always the prettiest casts that catch the fish, however I laid this one down right where I wanted it underneath the dock and smoked a nice Bass. A solid reward for a nice cast. . . . . #flyfishing #largemouth #bassonthefly #fishri #lakefishing #bassfishing @templeforkoutfitters #tfo #costadelmar #casttocatch (at Rhode Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSFIpLTgPgJ/?utm_medium=tumblr
