Ever take your dog with you?
I have 3 rescues, and they all go with me 99.9% of the time. I have a pontoon boat, electric powered. Or if I use my kayaks, 2 go in my kayak, I tow a second kayak with the 3rd guy. Nothing is more important to me than my best friends.

Flyfishing
GeeseMelvin, You can always get an extra spool and up the line one size. There are also bass specific lines that are weighted more towards the leader end. A 9 ft. leader isn't necessary for your frog. Play around with lengths and even try some 10lb. test, non tapered leader. After all, a bazillion bass have been caught on far heavier line A clean well lubed line can make a big difference also. Sometimes the experimenting is just as fun.

Flyfishing
I fly fish quit a bit. Small/Large mouth Bass, trout, even some carp. If your after bass, you might be better off with a sinking line, or a sinking tip line, especially when the sun is out. You can also cast top flies, or terrestrials under overhanging trees/bushes. Practice your side arm casting, be prepared to catch some trees until you get the hang of it. Use a heavier leader/tippet than you have been using for Brookies (they sure are fun!) as bass will head for any weeds or structure when they can. Have fun!

You are both 100% Correct. What I meant/should have said was the north side, due to the southern exposure.
