L anding a trophy bass on the fly rod is the ultimate quest for many saltwater fly fishermen.
Hours upon hours of casting and retrieving, long sleepless nights, and a lot of money invested in gear and tackle are all forgotten when that familiar thump connects with the end of your fly line. But when you add up all of the above factors the hours probably add up to years and the money adds up to a small fortune. Nevertheless, the flyrodder is out there with a passion hoping for a date with destiny. As a flyrodder the term trophy needs to be redefined. The twenty, thirty, or even forty pound fish which roam the surf will no doubt fulfill your ultimate quest, but the probability of hooking into one of these fish is low.
