Silver Bullets 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2004 naw, my buddy got it on spinning gear Vise! I will be able to fly fish it soon, but right now theres a big tree that fell down in the stream so untell we get it outta there i cant fly fish there. Brookies are cool, and that one was reallly cool seeing it was the biggest one i've seen come outta that brook! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2004 Silver there are many times when your in a tight spot just as you mentioned with a tree taking up space in the river where you can "dap" a fly on fly gear. Dapping is just stripping out a few feet of line and extending the rod out over the tree and letting the fly "dap" on top of the water. might be worth a try is you really want to use the long rod with that tree in the river....plus trees are good fish structure so you might want to consider leaving it in there SD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
artimus 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2004 Learn to work the tight spots. Dapping, roll casting, and sling shoting are all great 'casting' tricks to have in your bag. It's not all about the great big looping casts. That is one pretty fish!!! Which fly this time. Art Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
