Bass Fishing and Bass Fly Fishing Truths
BASS FISHING and Bass Fly Fishing Truths
Bass Fishing and Fly Fishing Articles, Fish Recipes and Fishing Secrets.
Bass fishing has a fascinating history. It started in the late 18th century and continues to progress even today. Fishing was originally practiced in
search of food among the people in the south of the United States. Since then, it has encompassed all ages and nations. Today, countries such as
Australia, Cuba, South Africa, The United States and most of Europe participate in this kind of event.
Timelines
• The year 1768 or 1770 represents the birth of bass fishing sports.
• William Shakespeare Jr. materializes the production of a level wind device and secured its patent on 1897.
• The William J. Jamison Co introduced the overly ornamented Shannon Twin Spinner in 1915 and was improved to create today’s spinner baits.
• In 1932, President Franklin D. Roosevelt instituted the creation of The Tennessee Valley Authority and encouraged the creation and building of
numerous dams. These dams were later used as fisheries for different species of bass.
• Five years later, DuPont Company filed patent for a nylon fishing net, this was later developed into nylon monofilament fishing line. Still in use
today. With some changes it stays straight and lasts quite a long time with cleaning and care.
• In the year 1992 Larry Nixon, the famous fisherman in the history of bass fishing won $1M total earnings for this sport on this year. Today we have
bass tournaments all over the US and winnings of $100,000 to $1,000,000 are common.
Types of Bass Fish
Several fish species that are being caught in bass fishing are:
• Micropterus psalmodies (Lacepede) – Largemouth Bass
• Micropterus dolomieui – Smallmouth bass
• Micropterus punctatus – Kentucky Bass
Just a note of reference, Australian Bass are different from the above North American Bass variants although most share similar features. Perhaps, the most
robust success of Bass Fishing was in the 1950s. Due to the development of modern fishing equipment, from bass boats, rods, lines, lures and various fishing
gears.
Electronic gear was incorporated among the host of equipment bass fishers used at that time. Reels of different types, which function in hauling and
hoisting, were also created. Statistics show that the audience base of this sport is increasing and that more and more people are getting interested in it
compared to tennis and golf.
Fly fishing for bass is a popular sport as well.
A good fiberglass or bamboo rod is required and comes in various sizes. The most used size is a 9 foot rod. The rod is longer than normal rods because the
rod is used to cast the heavier line.Rods will come in one, two or three piece units. Many fishermen prefer a two piece rod as it is easier to transport.
The type of fly line you use will depend on the rod you select. Look on the rod handle for the type of line to use with this rod. The reel of a fly rod is
very different than a spin casting rod and will hold less line. This is because the line is much thicker. With a spin rod the lure is pulling the line but
with a fly rod the line is pulling the lure.Most bass fly fishers will want to use a Up-Locking with extension butt type rod. Your fishing store will know
what your asking for.
Another important item for the fly fisher is a good fishing vest.You want as many pockets as you can get and large enough to hold your lure boxes and other
items. Also make sure there is a felt or wool fly holder to stick extra fly lures to. This makes it easy to change lures when needed.
Chest or hip waders are also a good idea when bass fly fishing. You will be able to wade the river and streams and get right on a bass while in the water.
Remember bass like to hide and strike their prey.
A good pair of wading shoes or boot will help too. Find some with good soles of leather, felt or non slippery texture. I used to use rubber soled boots but
they were slippery on moss covered rocks in West Virginia, I now have felt glued to the bottoms and find this works well.
When bass fly fishing do not be worried about not catching any bass, it maybe trout time…So fish for trout. They are fun to catch and just as tasty. Get
