Every once in a while, I think about chasing them with a fly rod. Back when I used to do it, I loved throwing a popping bug.

We used to fly fish bass in Wisconsin on the rivers / creeks. They will flat out tear up a popper fly.

I have done amazing on bass w/my Tenkara style fly rod(no reel) w/a 1/200oz Trout Magnet Mini jig head and a 1” Berkley Gulp minnow. Not a fly fishing “purest” but it drives those fishing around me crazy when I catch some monster trout while they all cast their traditional nymphs…..and don’t catch em. Doing something completely different then the masses and twitching that little bait cross current and the trout will hammer it. “Reaction strike”. That’s kinda a tiny swimbait huh? Your shredded “fly” ought to kill em in the salt water. It looks like a shrimp! 😁

Fly fishing is my preferred method. For me, it's challenging, rewarding, and the most fun.
