Fly Fishing For Bass

Wolfs pond park - Great Lakes of NYC

feeds@yuku.com (bill0215) — Thu, 08 May 2008 07:55:10 GMT

I fished wolfs pond on Staten Island yesterday. the pond is located in wolfs pond park. it has bass , carp and pumpkin seed. if want to fish there do it soon because that green muck has already started to cover the surface. It is too bad because this fishery is about 20 meters from the Atlantic ocean. you have a fresh and a saltwater option all at one venue.

I recommend visiting the park just to walk in it's forests; there are hiking trails. The Great Lakes of NYC are...

I caught this LM yesterday on a #14 marabou nymph! This is the second Bass i've taken with this fly. I may throw away all my bass flies if this continues.

Ready to Break the Ice

feeds@yuku.com (spinzo) — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 04:51:47 GMT

Last week here has been bright sun and 60s (70 yesterday and warmer today). Ice has only been out for a couple weeks, and the water is still cold, but with the stretch of weather we've had -- and it's supposed to continue through Sunday -- it's about ready to start busting wide open. I'll have the pleasure of hosting Alec in my canoe next week when he comes out this way to give a classic bass fly demo, and I've got designs on a pond where I know the bass & 'gills...

Fishing and Gas $$$$ prices

feeds@yuku.com (gillbuster) — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 19:09:51 GMT

Gang,
Just finished listening to CNN news (depressing as always), Secretary of Energy says he thinks gas will be close to $4.00 a gallon this summer....I may be fishing a little closer to home this year to cut down the expenses, but not much, fishing is all I have to keep my sanity. My costs have never been that much to begin with. Many folks at my work are changing their family vacation plans this summer. Are the high cost of fuel going to alter your fishing plans this year? I have...

Funky Nassau

I fished in nassau county today( just outside of NYC). Twin ponds and Massapequa pond are stocked with trout and other panfish. The temperature almost reached 60F. and in the afternoon on my last cast (with a switch rod) I caught a LM bass on a black zonker.

Reminiscing Virgil Ward - a Bass fisherman Pioneer

Remember this tune...
"From the lakes of Northern Canada to the gulf of Mexico,wherever fish are bitin thats where we're sure to go."

He was more into spinning tackle, but a a boy he sure brought a world of wonder to a young boy in the 60's...on my old fuzzy TV with Rabbit ears. Thought this article would be neat to share with some of of you old fishing geezers...

Good Friday large mouth

feeds@yuku.com (brokentippet) — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 13:22:57 GMT

I am now using the photo of this fish as the picture under my name. Please look left to see it. I would blow it up larger for you guys to see, but I had to take the photo with my camera. Any larger and the image is unrecognizable. I was on shore using a green wolly bugger. This is my first bass on a fly rod. It is also the first time I have fished using a fly that I tied my self. I must admit, it is a pretty good feeling.

I've just uploaded the latest installment of Adventures In Fly Fishing, the Fly Fish Ohio monthly audio podcast. This month we did a brief but very interesting interview with Dave and Emily Whitlock. You can download or listen directly off your browser.

I've also scored a great interview opportunity with Roland Martin. This guy is the Tiger Woods...

How far can you cast in a canoe/kayak?

feeds@yuku.com (warren) — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 07:01:32 GMT

Hello;
I've been reading this site on and off for the past year or so and finally decided to join in. I also visit a few other Smallie sites but all the others are river and stream Smallies, which are fished differently than lakes and ponds.

The ponds that I fish are crystal clear ( you would have no trouble seeing a dime at 12 feet), so early in the year they are a little spooky. I have been able to cast out about 50' or so ( 35' colored shooting head, 9'...

Anyone got a Dragonfly pattern !!!

Here is a fishing report last year from some local bass fishermen...thought it would be neat to share with you'all

Fishing Report:
Nothing in particular going on for the morning of the 4th of July, so I asked my dad if he wanted to go fishing for a couple hours. My brother joined in and they wanted some bait so we waited for the bait shop to open at 6 and got on the water about 6:30. Dad caught the first LMB, around 7am a 2 pounder on a 3" craw no weight in 6'...

Long winter and mean

feeds@yuku.com (B52 bugger) — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 15:33:39 GMT

I had a small electrical job today and got home early. I kept thinking about my Shakespeare 3 piece fly rod, (Howald process). Time to throw a line. I think it's nine foot. I put a Cortland 444 peach colored WF-8-F fly line. It was like magic. Beautiful pick up, full flex and shoots out 90 ft of line. I have cast many fly rods in my life. I think this 3 piece has found a special place in my heart. I can't wait to throw deer hair bugs on theis rod.

I wonder when this rod was...

Got out today

feeds@yuku.com (Letort) — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 18:09:57 GMT

Well I just had to get out. So I loaded my gear in the car and headed out for my second fishing trip of the year. Thought I would hit 2 ponds that have both Bass and Trout.

Here is my report for both trips.....

FLORIDA

feeds@yuku.com (Gerbubble Bug) — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 15:09:10 GMT

Went to the Palm Coast in northeast Florida. The Satelite photos showed freshwater ponds all over the property we stayed at. Got there & discovered - no fishing in the ponds. I guess the golfers didn't want any fishers on their prissy little stupid sport play ground. Continued to find the same problem all over the area. Did some saltwater fishing, but things were slow. Heard many of the lakes in the state are way down and even dry. Saw a TV spot where a town wanted to drain of...
