While I have caught a lot of bass on flies most of them were of the sub-surface variety simply because it is a successful way of fishing and most of the water I fish is off colored.

Yesterday I fished a reservoir where the water was fairly clear and also not very deep. I could see bass jumping here and there so I decided to try a popper I had received in a swap. To make a long story short, 4 hours later the popper was destroyed by the repeated attacks of the bass and my nerves were shot. Had maybe 60 hits and landed about 45 fish.

I must say I am now hooked on top water bassing.
