If Bryan had to choose only one fly pattern for the rest of his fishing career, it may well be the CK Baitfish. Developed in Virginia for smallmouth, this fly is an absolute must for all bass species, and is an essential saltwater fly, especially for speckled trout and striper. It has even been known to turn a bull redfish or two.
