When it comes to warm water species and fly fishing, shoal bass are about as fun as it gets. Worldwide, these pugnacious river bass are native to only one river system: The Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin, and the swift-water habitat they prefer was years ago reduced to stretches between dams in Georgia, Alabama and Florida.Editorial StaffNov 14th, 2023
