That the sport of fly fishing for bass was a long time in getting general recognition may be seen by referring to the files of Forest and Stream, where one will find that a spirited controversy was waged in the early '70's on the subject of whether or not a black bass will rise to a fly! Father of Black Bass Fishing The title of " The Father of Black Bass Fishing " has been earned by Dr. James Alexander Henshall. It was his writings in the periodicals and particularly his " Book of the Black Bass" (1881) that popular- ized bass fishing in America. His prophecy made in this book that the black bass would eventually become the game fish of the people has been borne out by events. |
