I live in Alabama, "The Heart of Dixie", and until about a year ago I had never fished in my life. Needless to say I now love fly fishing. However, I have never caught any of those BIG BASS from the ponds near my home. I can see them clearly and it looks as though they are laughing at me!!!! Right now all I get are those little Bream. Sometimes they are kinda in the way! So, the post on Big Bass really caught me eye. You've provided such great insight. Here is some of what you posted.

Watch your visibility to the fish
Fish at low light- dawn or dusk
Fish slowly
Back up off the bank
Drink a Cold one & relax awhile
Maybe use a sink-tip line

---------Here are the suggested flies--------

Size 8 Deer Hair Caddis
Clouser with light weight eyes
Big Clousers
Dalhberg Divers
Hot Claws
Bunny Leeches with an in-line spinner
Hare Worms
Fly Rod Hula Poppers
Zonker type patterns
Large Woolly Buggers
Streamer or Salmon/Steelhead size 6 or 8 hook
Salmon Royal Wulff
Hornberg
Deerhair mouse
Present sunken w/leech or Rabbitstrip worm
Salmon/Steelhead Flies

If you had to pick only 5 flies for an Alabama Boy trying to catch Big Bass, WHICH ARE THE TOP FIVE??

We will see who gets the last laugh now!!!!!!!!
