dafunk5446 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2009 A delicately placed cockaroo( http://www.flytyingforum.com/pattern8697.html ) or starling( http://www.flytyingforum.com/pattern8696.html ) always takes the largest, most fisherman shy bass...at least for me. If for some reason that doesnt work (which wont matter much anyway cause I wont be fishing, due to the fact that its the day of the apocalypse) an olive bunny leach.

MarkDickens 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2009 For the Australian Bass, for surface i like to use whats known as a Gutless Frog( as seen here http://texasfishingforum.com/forums/ubbthr...ATED_With_Fini) and then for searching deep i like to use a Bass/Bream Vampire( as seen here http://www.illawarraflyfishers.com.au/flyt...ss_vampire.htm) Those 2 patterns are the most successful i have found Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowlover 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2009 If I just have to catch a fish: chartreuse/white clouser. Gartside gurgler or a miss prissy popper for topwater. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gillfan51 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2010 Small (size 8 or 10) hard foam popper. I've caught everything from a 2 1/2 inch bluegill to a 4 1/4 lb LMB on 'em. Of course, the bass destroyed it, but... Oh, well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peeker Seeker 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2010 Yellow popper, deer, foam or wood, I think it dosn't matter. But black is good too. And then the damsel nymph. Or the purple or black wooly buggers. Blackrabbit thing nymph, kills the blue gills. and the devil bug. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
