Fly Fishing BS thread

Yeah, I've caught cats (here in TX) during a Mayfly hatch on top of our underwater lights at our lake house. It was 5 lbs easily, and took me like 20 min to get him in! I was so afraid I was going to break it off, I was just trying to get him finessed in.

I don't hardly use a bait caster anymore (unless it's croaker season on the coast) and I use that same rod (4 WT) as my streamer rod. When we're polling or trolling around and see baitfish jump- throw a streamer in front of them and start stripping. It'll get inhaled!

 

This is the net you are looking for! (Jedi mind trick)

 

Caught my first ever Brown on a fly. Amazing 5 day float on the Smith river in Montana. Spend money on adventures... and your tacoma haha. It'll make you happier.

 

Wondering what people do with rigged up rods and their tacoma (I have a 2017 DCOR? I often will drive spot to spot with my rod all set up, and will eventually use my thule rod carrier with a Prinsu rack (if I can ever pull the trigger).

Out the rear window? fold the first third up of the tonneau cover (I have the cover) and hang out the back?

 

Split the rod in half and throw it in the backseat for me.

 

I throw mine through the sliding rear for short travel couple miles or so.
When I'm going to a different stream I break it down in half and throw in the cab.

 

Look what showed up today

 

stick it out the slider for short drives, i split it in half for longer rides. i saw a guy loose a couple rods last year he had one of the suction cup mounts that stick to hood he took a turn and the flew off.

 

Anyone on here from the Arkansas are and ever fished the Norfork? Its a tailwater that feeds into the white.

heading up there and would love any info you may have to share!

 

It gonna be fun throwing these!

Thanks Tacoma brother!

 

I've always wanted to go to Montana. There or going back to mexico with my new 9wt.

 

Brought my girlfriend and dog out to some pools at the base of a falls to show her I could catch a fish...caught about 10 bream and my dogs leg!

The good news is my dog is no longer scared of water now that knows fish come out of it. She was chasing my flies on every cast.

I've had rods not even budge going 65 down the highway in Colorado...

 

I just stick the reel end in one of the front corners and let the last 2-3' hang out the back. Never an issue even at high way speeds.

I don't know what short bed trucks are like to do this, though.

 

3-4' hanging out the bed

 

Fly fishing is my obsession. @cjlord on instagram.

 

Nice fish. Are those pictures from north Carolina?

 

The big brown and giant bow are some blue ridge GA pigs. One in the net is WV. My catches in NC are normal size ☺

 

Very nice.
