Default Using fly rod for bass

I live on a lake that is mostly stocked with bass. A few days ago I
picked up a fly rod combo from Cabellas that came with all sort of
flies with tiny hooks. I'm sure that these will not work with a fish
over one pound or so. What is commonly used for bass? (The largest one
I've seen on the lake was aroiund six pounds, but mostly they run in
2-3 pound range.)


The Cabela's fly rod combos come in several line weights
from 3wt to 8wt. Which one did you get ? The larger weight
rods can toss larger flies.

In general you'll want poppers, frogs, divers and crawdads.
Here's a good assortment to give you an idea:

Good luck.
