I have been fly fishing a little while now (a short while for you guys) and have pretty much done nothing but trout. I got into some pan fish a few months ago on a local lake for fun to just relax in the afternoon, but wanted to get after some bass. I started working some different flies, streamers etc, but wasn't getting much luck. Finally switched over to a larger grasshopper dry since sub surface stuff wasn't working for me no matter how I fished it, and hooked up with 2 nice bass. Since then I have caught two more in an hour or two of fishing. I think a little later in the year the fly might get a little more attention, but I'm happy for now. I have missed a few more takes also, which is better than nothing. A big LMB sure puts a bend in my 5wt and it was interesting and a change of pace from trout for a day. Glad I took my tippet up a little bit before I hooked up with the big guy.
