Bass and Surface patterns are designed to imitate insects, frogs, or small mammals swimming on the surface of the water. Largemouth and smallmouth bass will often strike these fly patterns voraciously. The best way to fish them is with short quick strips of your fly line. This causes the pattern to make a lot of movement and noise on the surface of the water and will get a fish's attention. Get ready to set the hook quickly as soon as the bass strikes!
