anyone do it? I've been thinking about getting a relatively cheap set and try it on in the sierras and local pond when bass a hitting bugs early in the morning or late evening.
I have a fly rod and my dad took me out a couple times, but I never got enough practice to get good at it. I want to though.
I am considering taking it out in my front yard and just practicing in the lawn.
practice throwing the plug at the dogs?Tis' the right way to learn to cast

My answer is no, but the gear intrigues me. But ultimately, I never invest in it because it's like paying more for the gear only to make it harder to fish lol.anyone do it?

Bought a cheap set to play with - it's fun! Only caught a couple little bass at the pond but I can see this being worthwhile.
Do you use an indicator or bottom bounce?
I have a ST. Croix Fly Rod with a Pfluger reel. I've got less than $200 in it. Used it a few times steelhead fishing in Erie but not much at all. Didn't really tickle me jibbly bits to be honest. Might give it another whirl some day with bass though. Who knows.
Creeks. I can't even remember their names. I think "Three Mile" is one of them. They all feed off of Lake Erie. My steelhead rod is a 9' UltraLite. I believe. It's not very heavy at all. But no... never had it out on a lake. I don't even think I own any flies anymore. It's been probably ten years since I had that out.Did you fish the lake? Lakes are totally different than rivers and a steelhead rod might be a bit heavy for bass. You should try trout fishing with a smaller rod.
