[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 268711, member: 6937"] nice work! =D> I bet that put up a good little fight on the fly rod, didn't it? :wink: Now that you've actually caught a fish on fly tackle, what do you think about it so far? My guess is that, like me, you'll probably leave the bait caster and the spinning rod at home, and start taking the fly rod out more often. But if you REALLY want to have fun, get yourself a 20 foot 'black widow' fiberglass pole, rig with about 12-14 feet of some cheap fly line (or some old fly line when you replace the line on your spool) then use a 3-4 foot leader of 20 pound fluorocarbon, and a tippet about 1-2 foot long, made from some lightweight line. I've used this setup to catch flounder, black drum, sheepshead, and even red drum. Biggest fish taken was a 7 pound sheepshead, that was a workout! Anyhow, good luck with it. Keep practicing, catching fish, and having fun! [/QUOTE]
