Here I like to use a seven wieght only because alot of the water has fish
that very in size. ( Atlantics ) I like the wieght foward floating line the best and alot of practice. I once used to practice on a small brookie and
that little bugger would hit the fly and I'd miss. I would go back there day
after day until I became quick enough to catch him. I would let it go so I
could go back the next day and try it again.For bass I like the poppers or
a deer hair mouse and both worked pretty good on them. Good Luck!!
