Local Bass On Fly - Small Creek Fishing 

That sounds fun! My wife is from southern Sweden, I have been over there a couple of times but I’ve never been fly fishing in Scandinavia yet. :)

@@PeachyFlyFishing type in RU-vid „orret i Kulpen“, Thats exactly the Environment were i Go flycasting

Thanks, I’ll have a look. :)

They are miracles, fantastic native fish, a little bit like small mouth bass from the US but a bit more adapted to warmer water I’d say.

Thanks Jon! Yeah I reckon bass fishos everywhere tend to be a bit tight lipped - best thing I did was join a bass fishing club called Bass Sydney, that really opened things up for me. Good luck and glad you enjoyed it! :)

Hi Darcy, thanks for watching! I don't want to reveal publicly where this is as it is in suburban Sydney and will likely get hammered....but if you look me up on Instagram and PM me I might be able to help you....Cheers, Peachy. ;)

Thanks anyway Love your videos

Thanks! Like I said, PM me on instagram or facebook and I'll help you out with some spots. :)

Yep, water is too warm, in general we have native bass in our coastal rivers and creeks, trout in the higher altitude inland rivers. :)

Thanks! :)

Thanks Ngoc! Hope you enjoyed it mate! :)

Yes that’s right, gaiters I call them. Plenty of snakes around here!

@PeachyFlyFishing I'm in louisiana and I need some as well, lots of macassines and rattlesnake

Sounds like a good idea..

I don’t get down there that often, it’s been a bit tougher the last couple of years! Nice spot though. Hope to meet you down there some time. :)

Thanks Pam! Very glad you enjoyed it. :)

Yeah it does get pretty warm down there, especially in summer. But that’s when it fishes best too, when the cicadas are deafening….:)

Haha yes, it’s been hard to find bass water that’s not flooded the last couple of seasons! Definitely give it a go, bass are awesome…..:)

Thanks mate! That’s great to hear, perfect time to start getting out chasing bass right now. :)

@@PeachyFlyFishing a quick question what weight rod would you use for bass ?

I like a 6 or 7 weight. I’ve actually just shot a vid that covers this, will be posting it very soon hopefully…:)

Thanks mate! Yes well shore based is harder for bass that's for sure. I took the boat out today and got 15, hard to do that from the bank though! :)

Thanks Pete, pleasure mate!

Gday! How are you guys going? I’ve been wanting to get along to one of your bass catch events at some stage, hopefully the stars will align at some point! :)

Thanks Clinton! Yes it’s a 6-7 wt rod, a Sage Bass II Bluegill. I run about an 8-9 ft leader of 20lb tapered down to 12lb Maxima to help turn over. The line is a 7wt Rio Predator which works really well for this kind of fishing. Thanks for the kind feedback! :).

@@PeachyFlyFishing thanks so much Steve! Really appreciate the response.

Hey Steve, apologies just one more question. You leader, is that 9ft total? Inclusive of leader and maxima? How long is the maxima 3ft?? Thank you mate

Yes 8-9 feet in total. It’s easier to control and be accurate with a shorter leader like that, especially with a larger fly and lots of trees around. I usually just taper down, maybe 5’ of 20lb and 3-4’ of 12lb, something like that. :)

@@PeachyFlyFishing thank you so much mate!!!

😁

Thanks mate! Hope you enjoy it, I'm trying to up the video output a bit now and post more regularly. :)

Just to let you know - I enjoy your production style and find the videos informative. It’s always great to be shown the fly used also :). Thanks to you I bought a MaxCatch 8wt with natives in mind. Went to the backyard to learn to fast aaaannnd it broke. Hopefully just a dud but they’ve provided quick service and a replacement for that broken section was in the mail the day after contacting them. Not trying to promote a product just telling the story of my start to fly fishing so far (it’s not going great!). But started talking to a friend of a friend and he has one of those practice rods, and is willing to teach proper technique and set up. Fly fishing seems a lot more complicated than regular lure fishing.

Yeah absolutely it's more complicated, that's why we love it! :) Sorry to hear about your rod....best advice I can give is join a club straight away, and get some casting lessons at the start! :)

Unfortunately the nearest is 3 hours away! :O Ah well. Look forward to the next video! :D

Not sure what region you're in, but a few clubs like Sydney Flyrodders have country memberships. We organise various trips away to different places and people from further afield sign up to come on the trips. Anyway I hope you get it happening! Just be careful not to form bad casting habits at the start that are hard to break later on.... ;)
