It's one of the most fun ways to catch a bass I know of....you can feel everything in the rod and the line floats at whatever level you want the lure to be :-)

Nice, caught a few in the coves of Castaic myself, aggravated them with a rabbit leech pattern. I've never been to Casitas but it sure looks like a fine bass lake.

Nice Catch! It made it that much spectacular you caught it on a fly. Never seen anyone throw a fly rod that far you must got skills. I got a fly pole too but never get much use out of it due to weather conditions and not very experienced with one either.
