After my first fly fishing adventure in Colorado months ago, I decided to get into fly fishing. Fortunately, I can walk to the Perdernanlis River from our place outside of Fredericksburg and so it is easy to start my fly fishing journey. Caught 3 nice largemouth bass on a Wooly Bugger with cone head pattern today. It was in the mid 50's and very overcast so I was surprised on the three hits I had.

Nice. Bass are fun.

Cool pictures

What a huge advantage being that close to good fishable waters.

One of the things about fly fishing our local waters is that not a lot of people do it. Fish see a wide array of spinners, plastics, etc. from the artificial anglers, but don't see a lot of flys. This can be a significant advantage on fish like the LMB.

Woolly buggers are hard for fish to turn down. The bugger must be suggestive of a lot of prey species. I�m not sure what it looks like.

Every once in a while, I�ll see something about people not considering a woolly bugger a fly. I�ve never seen why they say that. A lot of fly patterns are suggestive rather than imitative.

Very nice! I love the Fredericksburg area. I need to get down there and shoot another video.

I haven't checked the fly fishing section for awhile. Have you posted any vids lately?

Nice fish and welcome to the sport. There isn't a fish that swims in freshwater that won't bite an olive woolly bugger.

I fished it last summer and caught my bass on....woolies

Great!

I hav'nt posted any since "Bridgeport Bluegills". I do have four other videos i have been editing over the winter. I'd like to finish up two or three of them (one is finished) and then start posting about one a month thru the summer. We'll see how it works out. Thanks for the interest.

get some deceivers and clouser minnows.
I fish deceivers with no weigh so the hook brings it down slowly. Bass will hit it for sure in the spring and summer.

Awesome post! Nice bass on the fly!

Thanks guys for the comments. I see a new addiction coming on with this fly fishing thing!
