It's a 2.5 hour drive so I'm trying to decide if I make time to go now or risk it and wait only until black Friday for a possible better deal.
These fish are beautiful and really fun on the reel.
Hello friends,
​
I have a tentative plan to drive up to see my friend in manistee on Thursday. I've been playing with the idea of taking Friday to try out some flats fishing and I have a few questions:
​
Wil I still be able to find bass in wadeable water on the 18th?
​
Of the major areas are there any I should lean towards or avoid? I can do my research on specific location but if this is well known enough that it's not spot burning feel free to let me know.
​
Could use a couple recommendations for flies to tie up except my caveat is that I need them to be pretty damn heavy. Something I can tie with medium/large eyes/bead chain.
​
The short story is I only have access to a 4wt right now. I usually tightline nymph with a long mono leader. With a sufficently heavy fly I can cast 50+ feet with this set up. Maybe less than ideal but sometimes you gotta work with what ya got.
​
Thank you in advance and if there's anything you feel worth mentioning that I didn't ask please do share.
Made it my goal to get a carp on the fly this summer. Have a couple spots I've been doing recon on. Would love to pick someones brain about tips and things they wish they knew when they started.
Thanks in advance.
