How do you feel about fly fishing?

Hey Mike,

I like fly fishing - it's a nice change now and then, and I do use my gear several times a year - primarily for smallmouth with poppers, muddler minnows, or wooly worms. But I do have gear for light trouting too, wet & dry.

But overall - I'll take spinning gear for most of my outings.

Before you go out and spend $ on a rig - you should decide what type of fishing you'll be doing, with what flies, for what species, and where (wide open spaces, or creeks and streams).

For example - wet or dry flys........ surface poppers or streamers, floating presentations, or sinking......... line weight (6,7, or 8)........line type (floating or sinking)....line profile (double taper, weight forward, shooting)...... rod length (6 to 9')....... bass or trout... etc, etc

Cheers,
