Anybody target bass on a fly rod? I'm thinking about taking the plunge myself, and I'm curious to hear from members with experience in this department. What kind of setup do you use? What are some of the strengths/limitations of this approach?

Search the site. There are some good threads.

The greatest limitations are depth you can fish (FF is a shallow game), lack of versatility in presentation methods, and speed and efficiency at which you can cover water.

That said...FF is just a great fun and challenging way to fish. I love it. It's addicting. With ingenuity you can adapt to a fair amount of fishing, but IMO FF shines in shallow cover.

For cover free situations and stream smallies a 6 or 7wt is about right. For most LM fishing an 8 or 9wt is what you'll need to pitch those bulky flies.

Thanks for the info. That's pretty much what I was expecting. I'll try to dig up those old threads.
