Fly Fishing BS thread

Kill em all lol they delicious

 

Super aggressive(dumb as hell lol) and can get huge in small streams.

Also forbidden to target in most of their native range at least south of the border

 

I saw the name, was just going to say it looks like a stonefly pattern.

 

Saw this guy the other day on my window. Was nowhere near a stream or creek.

 

Anyone have any experience with this company?

Reviews all seem really good and it would be nice to buy a kit that had a variety of flies and such.

 

I love rubber legs. I catch fish on them year-round.
On a side note: anyone use the fly rod for red fish in here? Was able to sight fish for a big red on an oyster bed in the creeks in Charleston this past weekend. Caught it on essentially a large trout rod...medium tackle basically. Can only imagine the fight it would have put up on a fly rod.

 

For sure, yea it seemed like a good kit and the price was cheap enough. I imagine I'll loose some flies here and there. Makes it less painful when each fly isn't a few bucks

Not Red Fish, but Striped Bass.

Echo Boost Salt - 9' 9WT

 

I’ve only been fishing for reds a couple times. They’re a freakin blast, though. The first one was in the harbor, just drowning cut bait. This one I pulled a rapala by its face and got to watch the eat. I’d love to try it on the fly.

 

Do it! Striped Bass are a blast. Sight fishing for them in the shallows/sand at low tide with a crab pattern is killer.

 

I know it’s not the right thread since it was spinning gear, but this is the 35” red. Probably 30+ lbs. on a 2000 series reel and 7’6” rod...

 

I keep my gear really simple for saltwater. One Plan D fly box holds all my flies. Just straight 25lb fluoro for leaders. Everything fits in a pocket.

 

Beauty!

That's about the size of a big cow Striper.

I fished for Red Fish a lot when I was in Pensacola attending college...back in the late 90's.

 

I fish around Plaquemines Parish in Louisiana a few times a year with my family and go to PCB every few years. A TFO BVK 8wt is what I got since I do it so infrequent. It's a great budget rod.

 

I caught my first fish with a San Juan worm. It was a 3" (the fish). The worm was 4. I spent many hours tying San Juan worms after that moment. I have many San Juan worms...

 

I’ll check it out. I’m the same way - won’t be doing it frequently at all. Maybe 2-3 days a year, if that.

 

That's a fantastic rod.

 

I'll post some pics in a bit.
