Fly Fishing for Bass from a Canoe
The fly-caster who has done most of his casting when wading would do well to practice casting from a canoe before starting out on a canoeing trip having for its object bass fly-fishing. A fact not generally recognized is that fly-casting when wading and fly-casting from a canoe are two very different propositions—you' have only to try it once to admit this. It does not here seem advisable to discuss the technicalities of fly-casting from a boat or canoe; it should be noted, however, that one •of the most important things is, when a cast has been made and in the retrieve, to keep a taut line from water to rod tip by stripping in the line through the guides with the left hand. It is also a good plan not to use your trout fly-rod, unless it is a very strong one, for bass fishing. The fine little trout rod, adapted to fly-casting in small streams, is ineffective and certain to be damaged if used much for bass fishing. The analogy between handling a quarter-pound brook trout and a two-pound small-mouthed bass is not at all too close for comfort.
