Bass tend to like fast retrieves on subsurface flies (particularly minnow type flies).<BR/><BR/>In a river, I usually like to get help from the current and when targeting bass or brim I will cast right along the bank which is usually the most obvious cover for those species on a river.texasflyfisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07807956251544952743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27702775.post-56906488302809664712007-04-20T00:57:00.000-05:002007-04-20T00:57:00.000-05:00Sounds like fun.
