Fly Fishing BS thread

I would imagine that there is no EPO that would fine/boot you from a river for fishing tenkara. I could be wrong though.

 

Yes, that seems to be the concenus. The Game Warden I spoke with also agreed.

 

mums the word.

 

Gotta do Sunday chores and them I'm flying to Chattanooga later this afternoon/early evening. But I'm hoping to rig up the rod and try out some casting. Seems pretty basic (a bit more delicate & precise) from the 23,546 YouTube videos I've watched this week.

 

That rod that is coming is going to fit perfectly into my arsenal. Thought my Sawtooth was a 6:4, it is really a 5:5. The new one is labeled as a 6:4, but reviews say it is a bit more flexy. Can't wait for it to get here.
The other one I have is a 7:3. Very stiff. Perfect for heavy stuff. May go chuck that a little today.

 

Excellent.
Yes, good description - "delicate and precise". You will get immediate feedback from the line presentation. Once you get it, it is a great feeling to place the fly where you eye it. So cool.....

 

You guys are killing me, I been looking at new fly rods. I don’t really need one, but. A lot of new options out there, looking at a medium action,9’, 5wt. This is my most used size, the two I have are fast action, tip flex.

 

Drove down to ft Lauderdale yesterday and caught my first peacock bass and first huge jaguar cichlids as well as a little chunky Mayan cichlids.

 

Slow and Medium are so much more fun!

 

@jwctaco A little advice....be careful talking with Mark.

 

Just got my 20 year old sage ll389 back from repair.....so smooth
Bring on the hatches

@Sig45

Here are those discs. They are a thick flexible plastic. I got 8. 8 together is still thinner than one spool. Will be interesting to see how they hold up.





update:
Furled line gets a little thick on these. Level line works great.
May use another option I have for the furled line since they don't have much memory.

 

Awesome!!

Someone got a little excited on your vest I see.

 

This is every one of my lines but one.



I need more lines!

 

Nice bow, where about in NY

 

That's a good day on the water!

 

@Sig45 Rod came in....kinda.
No one here to sign for it, so in the PO it will sit.
