Put your bobbers away! Have you wondered about fly fishing beyond the world of trout? Like maybe largemouth bass? Most of us know Luk Lake as a trophy sized trout fishery, but is also an amazing springtime largemouth bass fishery.

This will be a great introduction for pursuing largemouth bass using 7-8wt fly rods with bass flies and poppers that resemble frogs. This workshop will be a primer for spring bass fishing and the upcoming Luk Lake Fishout on April 18th-19th. You do not need to be going to the fishout to attend the workshop or learn something new.

We will be discussing:

· Why fish for bass in the spring?

· Equipment you will need (Rod, line and leaders)

· Bass fly patterns: Dahlberg Diver, Rainy’s Ratllin’ Popper, and more

· Techniques for “Lilypad fishing” and additional stillwater techniques


There will be follow up Luk Lake pre-fishout meeting on the April 3rd workshop that will cover:

· Bass flies provided for the trip

· Building you own bass leaders (materials provided)

· Doctoring up the Dalhberg Diver to improve its movement in the water

John Murphy (Fishout Leader) and John Chung will be leading the workshops
