|  I dont fly fish but catching a fish on a fly rod is a blast. I put a small spinning reel with 4 to 6 lb line on my fly rod. I use it to cast a 1/8 oz shad dart to catch shad in the sping. The shad run in on the CT river can go wild.

| I fly fish, not exclusively though. I have a 20 Seacraft SF that I use, A few 8-9 wt outfits and also tie my own flys. Mainly bass and blues. I am currently building a 6-7wt rod for some lighter action. I always wanted to try and catch fluke on a flyrod, anyone out there try this?

| I used to flyfish for trout and bass but haven't tried it in saltwater. I'd suspect my current rod/reel would be a little light. Could use it for hickory shad and schoolies/sm blues I guess.

| Since I bought my boat I haven't flyfished a lot but I have been pretty successful in Jones Inlet and Green Island. Green Island is the place in the spring if they ever finish the bridge and reopen it. Nothing like a 20" blue fish on a 20# flouro leader. "How I wish tomorrow I was fishin'" | ||

| Fly fishing the flats is my favorite thing to do. Shallow water sight fishing for redfish and trout is available year round. In the summer, I prefer to target tarpon from 5-100+ pounds. The ultimate flyrod fish. Capt. Chris Myers | ||
