Fly fishing for bass as a serious pursuit is really only starting to take off, and we are in just about one of the best spots in the country!  Our shining jewel is Presque Isle State Park, which includes a long Penninsula and our bay, which provides flats style fishing in a protected enviroment for Smallmouth, Largemouth, Pike and Carp!  Equipment for effectively fishing here is simple.  Most of us use saltwater style 8 weight 9 foot rod with a decent reel and a floating line.  Flies used are poppers in sizes 6 and 10 (use any color you like, as long as its black....), Clouser minnows, gummy minnows, polar fibre minnows, crease flies, deerhair poppers, big pike flies and the like.  If you are interested in coming up for a great warm water trip, let us know and we will be happy to tell you all you need to know.
