Most trout fishermen will shy away from bass and rarely, if ever target them. On the whole, you would have to put me down as someone who fits that category. However, this time of year, I can be as enthusiastic about bass as TV personality and all around bass authority Charlie Moore. When the local rivers begin to warm up and trout fishing slows down, I go bass fishing.
A lot of fly fishermen are under the opinion that their trout gear is not up to the task of taking on bass. There are fly rods designed specifically for bass, and if you really want to go after them you might want to look into buying one. However, I find that my 5 and 6 weight trout rods work just fine. The difference is that because larger flies are often used in bass fishing, rods designed for heavier 8 and 9 weight lines are preferred.
