I haven't seen much freshwater action on the forums so I figured I'd put up some reports from the past few weeks over here in Polk County. DaveyT and I have been hitting it pretty hard lately, and it has paid off. Here are some pics and videos. Mostly frog fishing.

Some of dave's fish, including his first 2 fish on the fly. He has some much bigger fish but I do not have the pictures.

A couple of my better bass.

A nice report and photos.

I bass fish here in southwest Florida and some in Miami when I get over there.

I mostly use spinning gear here as I mostly bank fish and it is hard to get a clean backcast with the brushy banks.

What fly did your partner use? Floating or sinking line? I have a selection of streamers and bass hair poppers etc.

I'd love to check out some peacocks if it didn't mean going to miami.

He was using some kind of popping fly. I don't know much about fly fishing.
