Secrets of a bass master... Successful fly fishing for bass and associated species requires special techniques and methods. The Whitlock Straight-line System is the result of years of field research and bass fishing. It is the most efficient way I have found to fish for bass. Basically, a fly fisher must present, control, animate, and retrieve the fly with a tight line, then strike, hook, and control the bass with aggressive authority. These steps taken together make up a precise system that you must understand, practice, and habitually use to most effectively fly fish for bass. Presentation and Control My system begins with a direct-to-the-water presentation. The forward and down part of the cast must be in a casting plane that causes the…show more content…
Any time you cast across water currents or a windy surface, the water movement causes drag, which affects your control of the fly. Study the illustration of how to control drag by mending the line with your rod. Basic Fly Actions A number of basic fly actions work well for bass flies. The following list covers some of the more important actions: No retrieve. The fly is cast to an exact spot that you feel has fish nearby. Establish straight-line control, let the fly float or sink, and remain there a good while. This is a particularly effective method where the water is clear or where the fish are pressured or selective. Use this method when you suspect a bass is under a structure. Put the fly as close to the log, stump, or boulder as you can, and keep it there. This method is also ideal if there is just a small open space of water in lily pads, milfoil, or cypress stumps. In these areas the bass will not or cannot move far for prey, and it will usually respond well to the sitting

    Literature review It is common knowledge that if waste is not disposed in the correct manner it badly affects the environment and then in turn animals and human beings are affected as we depend on the environment for survival. 1. Source 1: Landfills and hazardous waste sites I personally cannot begin to imagine life with landfills or dumping sites. If we had no landfills where would all the waste that is produced on a daily basis by households, firms, factories and companies go? How dirty
