Fly Fishing BS thread

Cabella's Big Horn Fly Combo.

 

I did it .

Way different than my 8’ 4 weight.

More practice. Lol

 

What outfit is that?

Edit - I see above

For Stripers?

 

Large mouth bass mostly.
Maybe a trip to the river.
But catching something like this on a 4wt just wouldn’t be smart to try..

 

That'll be more than adequate for bass. Will handle those big flies/poppers nicely.

Chuck & Duck!!

 

Lol

 

Nice! Definitely a different feel to it, but it will be perfect for those bigger flies!

 

Found it lol

But why waders in August

 

Tailwater and limestone streams. My man parts can’t handle 55* water even in summer.

They’ve been leaking since April, I finally decided to do something about it.

 

Captain, we’re leaking plasma.

 

I was in the pool!

 

For trout I have always used a 5 wt. Though I eventually ended up with a 3 and 4 wt for smaller streams. But an 8 wt is good for steelhead. And my favorite..... bonefish.

 

Nice Bone. Where were you fishing?

 

Well tried the new rod tonight.
Definitely not good.
Will need to redo what they did at Cabella’s and change out the leader again and get much heavier flys.
Feels like I’m throwing a tree trunk.
Can’t load the tip enough to get the line to react.
That’s ok.
Caught a shit load on the 4wt.
So make some changes and try it again..
Lol

 

Maybe change that line out for a 9 wgt to get that rod to load up. Fly weight shouldn’t matter (much). I’ve had to even go to a 10 wgt line when on big water.

 

Maybe.
I’ll store that info.
The line is lazy in the air so I need to experiment...

 

What line was loaded on the reel?

How much line do you have out? Generally you need a fair amount (30-40') to properly load the rod. It's less noticeable with the lighter weight rods.

 

Over line that sumbitch. It’ll help it load.
