The Way Of A Bass Fisherman With a Fly Rod And The Way Of A Bass With A Fly Ideal Fishing The ideal way to fish a bass stream, if its depth and bottom will permit, is to wade. Some one has said that Art is the beautiful way of doing things. Certainly then, wading the stream is the artist's way of fishing for Micropterus.
