While fishing for bone fish last year in mexico my spin fishing pals hooked a couple nice barracudas. Since we are going back this spring I got to thinking about what fun they would be on a fly rod. We go to an area that doesn't have any fly shops at all and being in Kansas you could put erery thing I know about salt water in my eye and I wouldn't blink!! So that bring up these questions.

What flys would you suggest for barracuda and were can I get info on the web for tying them?

Do I need to use a steel leader and if so can I tie one on like the spin casters use?
