What's Your Favorite Fly For...

I don't fish much for trout, and I was just wondering, how many of you
fish
for smallmouth bass and what is your favorite fly for catching the "gamest
fish that swims"?



A variation of Popovic's 'Semper Fleye' tied by a friend in Philly. He
calls it a 'Spey Fleye'

Tail: Matched hackles and flash, per the Semper Fleye
Body: Estaz
Collar: Spey hackle, tips should come past hook point when wet
Epoxy head with large prism eyes. Red thread collar in front of the hackle,
if you like.

Smallies knocked 'em all over the local tribs last year in white and in
chartreuse.

I see a lot of discussion about a Lamprey...........but since we are
talkin about Bass, I'd simplify it a bit..............since they are the
most fun, and the most active, in Spring and Fall, I personally stick to dry
flies of a variety of types with no particular preference.
After all..........a Bass will strike at anything during those times
of the year as mentioned above. (Particularly nesting females!)
