Run and Gun Fly Fishing for Striped Bass, Hybrids and Spotted Bass Lake on Allatoona Georgia

- Stripers on the surface do not stay in one spot for long. They are open water feeders that follow bait fish around. They can be very elusive. This means that run and gun fishing can be your best option for exciting topwater action.
This video will show what surface busting fish look like from a distance and the best way to approach them. Once you find them and are in position to make a cast, using a fly rod can be your best option. A fly rod allows you to quicky but quietly put your offering in the strike zone. This can mean more shots at fish without putting them down. This is especially helpful on calm days and in clear water like that of my home lake. Lake Allatoona in Georgia.

this is a nice spot to fish at.. thanks for sharing. those guys are just blowing up on the top.
Yes, I hit a good morning for sure.
The lake content is sweet. I like it better than all the other stuff. What rods, lines, and flies you throwing?
Thanks Brian! I guess I should add the gear to my description. For Stripers I use an 8wt Scott Meridian with a Lamson Remix 7+ reel and Airflo Superflo Flats Universal Floating line. Also an 8wt TFO BVK with a Lamson Liquid 7+ reel and Rio Outbound Short Premier Intermediate WF8I. I love both of these lines. The Airflo shoots like a dream and the Rio intermediate is perfect for swimming streamers at a medium pace just below the surface. Also the spools are interchangeable on these reels so if I am traveling and can only take one of the rods, I can still use both lines.
In this video I actually used my 4wt 11 foot switch rod for most of the fishing. I grabbed it when I thought I was on smaller white bass at my first stop. I was having fun catching the hybrids on it and there were spots mixed in so I didn't change. That rod is an 11' TFO Deer Creek Switch rod with a basic Bass Pro Fly reel. I have it up lined to a 6wt floating line so that I can fire it out quickly for distance without a lot of false casts. the length of that rod helps me to pick up more line off the water and put it back down in a different spot very quickly. This is a huge advantage when fish are boiling in multiple spots. Because of the length, it also works great with a popper dropper technique.
Man, I really appreciate your comment. It is hard to figure out what types of content people like the most.
Nice videos of Crappie and assorted bass fishing. For the hybrids and spotted bass, what type of fly did you use? Minnow imitations , Clousures, larger woolly buggers? It looked like you were just under the surface. A number of years ago, I caught hybrids at Smith Mountain Lake, VA using weighted Buggers. What distance were you reaching to the fish. Tight lines.
Bruce, good observation. In this video, most of the fish were caught on a white floating crease fly. I used 12lb fluoro tippet to get the fly to pull just under the surface on the retrieve. I sometimes use a little shad brush fly for streamers because I feel like it pushes more water than a Clouser. But a white clouser or bugger would work just fine. My casts average about 80 feet in this video. The water in Allatoona can be very clear and still. So distance keeps you from spooking fish. 80 feet is my easy distance cast. Sometimes, I have to uncork longer casts, but there is a point where you get decreasing marginal returns on your efforts.
