Tailing loop,

I also picked up on a few things in that article that made me blink a bit...but all in all a decent summation of what most fly fisherman think bass fishing is.

Like you, I've managed to learn to catch bass year round with fly tackle...and while I do use sinking lines, I seldom fish deeper than 15 to 20 feet, even in winter.

But the man did say 'most successful', and if you interpret 'most successful' to mean 'easiest', then he's correct...shallow water, spring and fall, are the 'easiest' times to catch bass with a fly rod....that's also when you'll see the trout guys trying for bass.
