Description
Earlier today I released a video where I challenged myself to answer one question:
If I could only fish five bass fly patterns for the rest of my life... which five would they be?
One of the hardest decisions was choosing my general-purpose streamer.
The Woolly Bugger is one of the most effective flies ever created.
But in the end, I chose a Rabbit Leech because that natural movement continues working even when the fly isn't being stripped.
Sometimes, versatility isn't about catching more fish...
It's about giving yourself the best chance in the widest range of situations.
The full video is available now on YouTube if you'd like to hear the reasoning behind the rest of my five-fly box.
Hooks I use: Risen Fly. Most of the tying materials I use come from J. Stockard. Both have been great to work with and I genuinely recommend checking them out if you tie your own flies.
