    Leader line

    I like Berkely Firewire as a leader, but it's REALLY expensive (~$20/125 yds). If it's the best line to use, then it's probably worth it. Unfortunately I don't have the time or money to compare all...

    Yep, I'm using spinning gear when fishing with a bobber and jig. Fly fishing sounds like more of an art form, but I don't really know where to start. Money is also a factor. My wife claims that...

    Hmm... I really should read all of the posts before I reply. The kit Becky offered is FAR superior to the one I bought -- and free is always the best price! :D

    Flying Jigs?

    Has anyone used fly recipes with jig heads? It would seem that minnow patterns would work very well. I have been using spinning gear for salmon -- either a jig-n-bobber or a slinky weight with yarn...

    Wow

    I am from Springfield MO but never spent much time fishing Taneycomo. Had I known there were fish like these, I probably would have moved to Branson!
