Throwing big flys does require getting use to! The timing changes for the cast, mostly you have to slow down and wait for the fly to make it's way all the way back and you need to keep the fly higher up on the backcast. If you don't have a heavy rod you can still cast these bass bugs but just not as far. I sent some smaller bugs just for this reason, try one of those to get the hang of casting a fly with more wind resistance.

I tried some of my bass bugs on the coast this last weekend but had no takers.  Saltwater is whole different world!

Whitebass didn't like them either, but I did manage a couple black bass and a whitebass on a clouser Monday evening at Lake Somerville. Spinning gear was a whole lot easier and more productive on the whitebass, especially fishing out of my kayak.
