Hello i am fishing in Minnesota and i am mostly a bait fisherman but please dont hold that against me.
Anyways i had a neighbor who had shown me how to fly fish one time in a friendly neighbor competition who could catch a bigger fish. After our competition i wanted to learn more about fly fishing so i read some about the casting technique but what i should have read about is the lures themselves. Unfortunately though in a little under 2 weeks my neighbor had passed on. And i kind of lost interest in it for awhile since he was the one who got me into it and then he was gone. Well recently i was looking through the garage and i saw one of his old pole and reel that he had let me borrow and his wife said i could keep after he passed. So i am wanting to continue what i started and i want to try some fly fishing next time i go down by the stream or lake. Now the problem is i have no Flies. And i was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as to what kind of flies i should use up here in Minnesota say on a pond for bass and also Sunnies. Because we have a pretty good Bass Lake here. Also i realize the type of fly depends on whats native here but im more hoping someone can help me rule out some types that would never be used this far north. Thanks!
