My son uses his fly rods on every trip. He also takes his other setups. He picked up some dvd's and praticed in the back yard.
His most used outfit is a 10 ft, size 9 Salmon rod made by Triple Fork or mayby Twin Forks. Can't remember the name right now. Got it at Cabela's last season. Also has a St. Croix 8ft size 6 or 7. He ties most of his own flyes but gets a lot of them from BPS when we are out that way. Also gets them from Ramsey outdoor for those of you living in NJ. When he gets home from school I will get more information for anyone that wants it. Feel free to im or email me

I have been interested for years in this form of fishin, I saw three guys once in waders kick ash on my favorite local pond back in the mid ninties. The three of them caught maybe 50 bass total in about 90 minutes. I had been at the pond for over 3 hours and only had 4 bass.
It looks like something I will have to try someday, and I would be interested in reading post's about it too. Thanks for bringin it up. |

I've heard, like bass fishing gear, you got access to cheap stuff as well as top of the line stuff. The cheaper stuff can be had for less than 75.00, with the "good" stuff going for over 1000.00 for both rod and reel, not including line either.... Check this out, a link from loomis on one of their rods.

40 bucks at walmart, you don't really need a real nice setup for starting out.

Okay heres what im thinking. Either an 8 or 7 weight rod. The 8 for the size of the fish im catching or the 7 for less fatigue in the blind casts. Floating line and a reel of equal size. Don't know what brand yet though!

My brother fly fishes been doing it for 25 years and applys it to black bass also. he has caught some very nice bass eg. between 3 lbs. and 8 lbs. where we go. he also alternates with an ultra light spinning set-up; when the fly rod bite is "weak".
