I went to look at some more rods and reels. I am considering either a St. Croix rod or a Temple Fork Outfitters rod, both 8 wts, and either a Lamsen Velocity or a Lamson Lightspeed, both 8 wts. I...

I tied a different fly to try to imitate the baitfish.
Tail- shad gray marabou
Wing- shad gray marabou with Flashabou.
Underbody- shad gray marabou with Flashabou
Body- gray dubbing
Eyes- bead...
I was fly fishing in a brackish bayou, and I noticed there were several shiny silver baitfish. The baitfish were swimming in water that was 6" deep. The baitfish would only last a short while in the...
I found a fly shop near me, but it is only for saltwater. After talking to the guy for a little while, he sold me on saltwater fly fishing. I know that saltwater fly fishing can get expensive, with...
Here is how I would classify a rod and reel:
Low- $40-$59
Middle- $60-$99
High-$100+
I bought a middle priced combo and am extremely happy. I could not see myself spending hundreds of dollars...
I barely made it in the low end group! My total setup cost me about $75. I was going to buy the $23 setup, but I settled for the $63. I am very happy with my purchase.
Lady, how did you get to that page? The only saltwater article I found was the one you get when you click FEATURES and then saltwater. Also, where is the second one you mentioned?
I read in that...
What are some cheap ( between $100 and $200), but good brands of rod/reel combos?
I have looked through the articles on this site, but I still have some questions. I want to wade fish the beach in Mississippi and try to catch some sea trout, flounder, mullet, and the occasional...
Does anyone here fly fish the beach in south Mississippi? If so, what do you catch? I live close to the beach and would like to try my luck in the ocean. Thanks
I was out fishing today with a yellow Gartside Gurgler, and I caught a monster bass. It was 1 lb 7 ounces. A few posts ago I said that I caught a 2 lb bass, but now that I think about it, it was...
I am actually up in Illinois for vacation. I sure hope it doesn't hit MS though.
How often should I recast the Gurgle-Pop? Also, do you reel the fish in, or pull them in by grabbing the line? Thanks
Harold, I live about 10 minutes from the beach. I would love to try saltwater, and I think I may do it this year. Thanks for all of your help everyone.
I have had several bites from bluegill and bass that I did not catch. I know that I can't catch every fish that bites, but I know I can improve my 50% success rate. How do you set the hook for...
By level do you mean the same diameter the whole line? I use a WF-6-F line. I do not know if I will switch to a more expensive line as I can only cast 20 yards where I fish. I only fish for bass and...
I am hooked, but I have a problem. I am only able to fly fish two months out of the year. I do not have a place to fly fish at home.... YET! I will start looking, but I am not allowed to drive very...
I just love being a beginner with $10 line!
I bought red, yellow, green, and blue foam. I tied up a yellow with yellow rubber band legs and white marabou. I bought some fabric paint. I put a few dots on some of them, but not the one I used. I...
Drolfson, I think that may be the perfect fly. I am not able to go to Bass Pro today, so I will go to Wal-Mart and get the material I don't have. I do not know what to use for the legs though. Do you...
I was just out fishing. I caught a bluegill on a grizzly wooley bugger. I noticed that the bluegill were eating something from the surface. I am not sure what, but I will try to find out.
I used about 8 different flies. I guess I will tie some poppers. Is there a website that I can look at that has the patterns? Thanks
There are several bluegill in my pond, but I can't catch them. I was using a size 10 Adams fly, but I only caught a few warmouth. I would like to catch the bluegill. I have heard to use poppers, but...
