Fly Fishing BS thread

Looks like fun!

I keep reading good reviews on these Cabela's CGR Fiberglass Fly Rod =

Ive wanted to order one for a while now but kept putting it off. Pulled the trigger tonight because they are running an offer on them right now if anyone else is interested-• Additional 20% off all Cabela’s branded product plus free ship $49 min. Use Promo Code 16SAVINGS during checkout. Limited Time Offer.

 

Great price!

 

In looking forward to giving it a go. I ordered the 7' 4/5w. I have a 6'6" 3/4w, 7'6" 4w, 8' 5/6w, and a 9' 5w. This should fill he gap nicely between the 6'6" and 7'6"

 

Nice quiver.

 

Went to the 101 class this morning, good basic info but lots of local insight too. Grabbed some leader and tippet and cutter and pliers while there. Glad I went, hoping to get some good instruction with a cold beer at their next casting and cocktails event in the park up the road

 

Thanks. I use the 7'6" 90% of the time anymore it seems.


Heres a few from this weekend -

 

Also, what do you guys use to take pictures? iPhone 5 + rain/moisture = alotta crappy pictures

 

I use my memory.
I am terrible about taking photos.
The fish are bigger that way too.

 

I use either my iPhone (6 currently, 7 will be here in a day or so), Or my Go pro.

 

Depends. I generally don't take pictures of the fish I catch in an attempt to keep them in the water as long as possible. If I do take pictures they are normally of the scenery, often with myself in the background fishing. For these I use my Sony a6000 on a sturdy tripod. I tend to set it to take a picture every 1-10 minutes (depends on how long I plan to be in a spot). If I do take a picture of a fish, I try to have a friend help out so it's quick and easy. If not, Ill use my iphone.

 

I use an iPhone 6. Here is one of the better ones I have gotten. This is without a filter.

 

Elk hunting is getting in the way of my fishing. I need to make better life choices...

 

A good way to do it is to actully video it instead of taking a picture. Then take a screenshot of the video. That way you can quickly take it out, flash it in front of the camera and put t back.

 

Yep, that's what I look doing.

 

Did a little catch and release fishing today.

 

Pretty Bow from a quick creek session yesterday.

 

What part of NC you from? Nice job on the catch and release.

 

I'm from Lenoir

 

I asked you that before haven't I? Haha my bad.
