July 3, 2025 By: Phil Monahan

Alvin Dedeaux of All Water Guides has been guiding for bass for more than a quarter century, so he knows a thing or two about which flies work. In this video, he runs through five patterns that can get the job done, whether you’re trying to catch bass on the bottom or the top. So watch the video, and click on the links below to learn more. (Most of the links go to Alvin’s own tying tutorials.)
