Pat Cohen has just released a new book called Super Bass Flies. The book includes 41 step-by-steps of Pat’s fly patterns. The book is divided into the following sections.
- Topwater mice, frogs, birds, floating minnows, dragonflies, damsel flies, and hoppers
- Mid-column flies, including Spaghetti Cat, Fleeing Bucktail, and Manbearpig
- Bottom-dweller flies, including Shaggin’ Dragon, Mud Puppet, and Sulking Sculpin
- Techniques for fishing each type of fly
Besides his patterns, Pat gives in-depth information on fishing for smallmouth and largemouth bass. He has also included many bass fly patterns by other prominent tyers. The design of these are not only provided, but how the tyers recommend fishing these flies as well.
I am honored to have been included in Pat’s book. The three flies from me are the Death Ray, Bluegill Belly Bean, and Thunder Mutt.
Keep in mind, this is not a small book, it is a large, thick book which includes a ton of information. If you are looking for a good resource on fly fishing for bass, I would highly recommend this book. Pat is now offering these on his website and has offered to sign each one if purchased from him. You can also purchase the book on Amazon.
