Trouts don't live in ugly places
There be only one fit name for the new meat. He should be fairly hight "Steamboat Dave."
If ye lubbers fail to see the jest, I'll claim a week's rum ration from ye each as penance and the cost o' yer eddication.
Welcome aboard, Steamboat Dave. It be yer turn to swab the decks. If ye catch any more gulls, ice 'em down and keep 'em till the Florida fish-in. We'll bake a gull pie or two.

Dave don't tell us it was a three weight that you where fishing with. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif

I look into... my fly box, and think about all the elements I should consider in choosing the perfect fly: water temperature, what stage of development the bugs are in, what the fish are eating right now. Then I remember what a guide told me: 'Ninety percent of what a trout eats is brown and fuzzy and about five-eighths of an inch long.' - Allison Moir.
I wonder if he ever fished Saltwater ;)
AAARRRGGGHHH!
No, no 3 Wt. I was using a 9 Ft 6 Wt. It is the biggest rod I have ... and the smallest rod that I have. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/wink.gif That gull put up a good fight on the 6 Wt., but I'll bet that a 3 Wt would have made him feel like an Eagle. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/wink.gif
I'm thinking about getting a 9 Wt. I might get to fish the salt a few times a year, and I think that the 9 would work for Small Mouth Bass as well as for Stripers and such. I'm considering a 14 Ft two-hander to get some distance though, because my double-haul is causing me to loose line speed and distance. Is any one out there using a two-handed switch rod for the salt? Any thoughts on it?

A lot of people like an 8wt for the salt but I don't. I like at least a 9 wt for the salt and sometimes use it for smallies with big deer hair bugs and heavy crayfish imitations for deep water. You will be amazed at how far you can shoot with a bigger setup and keep your line speed up.

dave, i use a two hader (12.5 ft. 8 wt) early and late in the season when i fish from shore. i don't spey cast, just overhand cast with it, and the thing is a cannon--can easily throw the whole line. plus it's not too hard to get the hang of--the casting motion with a two hander seems much more natural than with a tradtional fly rod.
but i'm with micro--a 9 wt. is a great all around rod for the salt.

Maybe he's Dave Ful o' as in full of... something, like rum.
Hey Micus, I just did some shopping at Orvis (Avon CT), in your honor. Well actually it was the only place to find a 12' 7x leader. Thats what I am using for those burly stripers (I'm good, don't cha know)

Boy those must be some finicky fish for a 12 ft 7X. I think that my flies would break off before they hit the water?
Being an orvis leader it must have cost 20 bucks.

Nick,
I actually use them for trout. You need to be gentle, but it makes the difference between some looks and some takes by the cautious trout in clear water. As for cost, they were $3.50 per for mono. Thats a decent price. I too was surprised that I did not need to sell my firstborn to afford them.
