Flytime Flies by John Schofield

John Schofield is a respected Australian fly tier and bass angler known for creating one of the most talked-about freshwater bass patterns in the sport — the Bass Vampire. Originally developed through tournament fishing in Australia, the Bass Vampire combines elements of traditional bass flies to achieve a purposeful sink rate and enticing profile that triggers strikes on schooling and deep-holding bass alike. Schofield’s design has become a staple in Aussie bass fly boxes, praised for its effectiveness and adaptability across waters.
