Would anyone be kind enough to explain this Float n Fly technique to me please? Sure would love to see what a Smallmouth Bass feels like on the end of my line.

Not that my way is perfect or the correct way. Feel free to explain a better way if u have it. I use an 8 ft. Spinning outfit. Spool that with braid. Tie the braid to a 3 way swivel. tie 8 to 10 ft of 6 lb fluorocarbon to another part of the swivel. Tie the end to ur fly. Clip a fnf bobber to the last side of the swivel. When casting allow the fly to touch the water on ur backcast. I use the fnf in 45 or less degree water. Change up ur retrieves. Deadsticking works best in my opinion.

Noticed i said you guys getting ready for the fnf. i am die hard live bait over there and have even caught a few nice ones on crankbaits at the beginning of winter.

Went last sunday and took my father and my 7 yr old son . i just wanted them to hav fun and catch some smallies so i stopped at dale hollow 1stop and got 3 dozen shiners for them to fish with. i went straight to my ole faithfull grass bed and my son caught the first one a 19 inch smallie and my dad 15 mins later got a 16 incher. i had to grab my sons life jacket to keep him in the boat because the smallie almost pulled him in. all i done that day was run the trolling motor and enjoyed those two having a blast. take people fishing that dont get to go that much and dont worry bout u catching fish, just enjoy the people u care about enjoying doing something that so many of us on here have a passion for and that is catching those beatiful bass.
