Fly Fishing for Bass

Bobbers for Bass

STRIKE INDICATORS! Now that sounds way more hard core than a bobber. Not sure what it is but there is something about saying strike indicators that makes using a bobber with a fly rod sound more appealing. But whatever you feel like calling it if you've got a few monster indibobbers sitting in your fishing bag you're on your way to the style of fishing that I commonly refer to as 0-60mph fishing. One second you’re bored watching your bobicator and the next you’re trying to figure out why your hands are burning and your line is plunging out of sight into the depths below. Indicator or Balanced Leech fishing for Bass of all types is a really fun way to get out on the water near you be it the bays or local lakes it should provide some fun fights and memories. Now this is a good ol down and dirty fishing blog explaining some basics.… LETS GO!

Balanced leeches have been one of the hottest flies for trout, bass and even in our bays in the last couple of years. The one thing is that they can be a little tricking to tie your first time. Hopefully the Balanced Leech 101 will get you pointed in the right direction.

You can say we have gone a little more fly crazy than normal this year. As an example, with our last order we added over 20 new patterns in a ton of different color. That makes for over 70 new patterns. Most of the new additions have been in the Competition/Perdigon Flies and Trophy Streamers. We also added new Streamer and Musky Flies as well. Here’s a few of our favorite new patterns.

Is it that time of year already….. Yes it is. We are having our 3rs annual Spring into Summer event at our San Diego store front on March 23^rd. There will be special one day only Sales, Presentations, Fly tying, Raffles and more. The event will start at 10 am and run till 4 pm. Click to see the full schedule.

I have been chasing Striped Bass all over California for most of my life. From when I was a young kid, I was fly fishing bass flies on the Colorado River to the Sacramento Delta, as well as a bunch of the local SoCal Lakes. With this knowledge and experience, I have made this list of my top-5 best bass flies to hook Striper.
