first flyrod

[fisher dude]

Caught 2 small tucs 5 blue gills and 2 lm bass one 4 incher and one lbs healthy. Good day for first day I think my flies were a little small had a 3lb tuc tried hitting twice and kept missing pretty funny it looked like my dog trying to catch a fly. Something different and new for me had fun! Oh yeah and I caught about 3 overhanging trees hilarious not used to snagging trees 5 feet above the water lol!

what rod did you end up buying? what weight?

[fisher dude]

its a 8 weight a little heavy for the river i found out after getting it but its fun i ordered from bass pro shops hobbs creek combo 4 piece i told them i fish for peacock bass in hawaii and they sent me this one but from what i hear a 6 weight is more ideal!

I'm actually thinking about taking up fly fishing again, but its been ages I know how to tie flys and how to fish with a fly rod, but I've never actually bought flyfishing tackle, anyone interested in showing me the ropes?

If you have any fly fishing questions, Sean will be happy to help you.

Check out "Clay's Blog". This week he has some pictures of peacock bass they caught using that new Tenkara Rod. (I'm ordering one)

I'm glad to hear you got the 4-piece travel rod. Much easier to transport. Don't worry about having an 8 weight rod. It will be handy to have if you are in the wind (like we had this last week).... and if you try saltwater for bonefish. (for the bones, you'll need a reel with a good drag and about 120 yards of backing)
