A good year on the river so far...

[Riverpirate]

I decided that if I was going to learn to catch bass on the river with a fly rod, I was going to have to use one. I made a comitment to use only a fly rod starting in January. It has paid off so much so that I now think I may never go back to regular gear. Here are a few of the river fish I have caught so far on the river:







And most don't know Georgia has smallmouth in our rivers:

Those are some really nice Bass, expecially on a Flyrod.

Great fish there, I think you just helped sell a few fly rods. I know you got me thinking

How many inches was the Smallie in that first picture?

[Riverpirate]

The first fish is actually a shoal bass. Not sure how long he was but he weight 7-4. Just a little more than a pound off the world record. Input here back. I know where she stays.

Wow nice job with the long rod! Those are some gorgeous bass, that one before the smallmouth is that a Spotted Bass? Great coloration.
If I had the paticiance to fish sinking flies I'd use the flyrod for Bass year around.
