Blustery Day BassWind and bass bugs are never a good mix, and even more so when basketball-sized pockets between lily pads are your target. When the pockets were hit....thee bass were aggressive. When they were missed....50% of the time you were fighting to retain your fly. I arrived with WOGs. I left with the one tied on my line about a dozen fish later. The highlight was an honest 5lb plus fish on a green WOG. It jumped 1/2 dozen times and let me get it 5ft from the bank....and then promptly broke me off with 10# tippet. Not the best feeling in the moment, but the fight was fun as hell. I will return with more WOGs! |

Ralph, your wogs are ugly beyond words. Nevertheless, they catch fish. It just doesn't connect with the long (and glorious) history of fly fishing. There's a time and a place for both.
ReplyDeleteAAhhh.....but beauty is in the eyes of the one that rises for it. :)
ReplyDeleteTESTIMONIAL on the fish catching virtue of the WOG
ReplyDeleteI just got back from a 2 hour bass outing. Started with a green popper and it was catching. I finally lost it on a fish- the tippet wore out.memo to myself- bass have rough mouths and eventually will wear out a tippet but that is another story.
so what a perfect time to try the wog. green works very well where I was so that is the one I tied on. all I can say is WOW WOW WOW!!!
The bass crushed it. just absolutely hammered that bug. they were actually tracking it and then sucked it in. It is one heck of a bug.Love the way the bug pushes the water and apparently the bass do too.
the wog works!!!

Anon, Thank you for the report and glad I could be part of your time on the water. It is definitely a pattern you can rely on.
