‘Saltwater Fly Rods’

I have been fishing since I could walk (mostly saltwater) but I have never been trout fishing before in a mountain stream. From what I hear, trout fishing is very tricky and requires a lot of skill and patience. I will be fishing in the Toccoa river in North Georgia.

What type of tackle should I use and what type of bait? Lures? Worms? Flies? How should I fish for them? What tactics should I use? I will be using a light spinning rod and I have chest waders as well. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I recently received a Fenwick Spinning and Fly Combo as a gift. Specs- 7’0", 1/8-5/8 lures, 6-12lb, and it is carbon veil (I guess that would mean graphite). The spinning reel is an Abu Garcia Cardinal–8lbs/80yds. I don’t know how to fly fish so the fly reel isn’t of much importance to me. Anyway, my question is what kind of fish would this rod & reel combo be capable of handling? Also, can I do some saltwater striper fishing with it or will it fail? Lastly, should I get 8lb mono or 8lb braid? Thanks

While fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, salt water fly fishing legend, Bo Meador, hooks a huge bull shark.

Hey i live on vancouver island and want to get into fly fishing. I want to fish for steelhead and trout in the rivers and lakes as well as coho in tidal waters, what type of setup would you recommend for a beginner I have already purchased waders and shoes and all the accessories i need, im just not sure on what rod and reel to get, as well as line weight and tippet. I was thinking of a 5w or 6w line with like a 2x or 3x tippet. I understand how line weights and tippet strengths work, i just want some second opinions on what to buy before i buy. I have around 200$ to spend (give or take ) and would like something saltwater proof aswell. Thanks ( and i have a rod 9 foot rod that my dad gave me a while ago thats nice just a little dated so i can use that if the reel is more expensive or both wont fit in my range, but i still need a reel) Thanks

Saltwater fly fishing can at times be just as demanding and technical as any sweet water trout senario. Sometimes it is barely controlled chaos. When the rod bends at shocking angles and line is shooting through the guides at light speed, does it get any better?

I live in Queens NY and i got into fishing 2 years ago. I bought a saltwater fishing rod and reel from a bait shop near a popular fishing site in Queens. They set me up with a PENN CV6000 reel and a TSUNAMI TROPHY SURF rod. I like the rod and reel they work well together and look good too. Now i want to get a fresh water rod and reel a baitcaster reel with a nice rod and a fly rod and reel so i will have one of each kind 3 rods and reel’s in total. What store or website has good quality tackle for a good price?

My whole life I’ve been doing inshore saltwater fishing with spinning tackle. I’ve always heard of people flyfishing for redfish, speckled trout, stripers, etc. (by the way the river I fish is predominantly speckled trout and redfish). Flyfishing looks fun so I found a good rod and reel for a good price, but I need some flies.

Google and Youtube has helped solve a lot of my questions in saltwater flyfishing. BUT I can’t seem to find out what size fly would be good. I typically fish in spin tackle with hooks around the 2/0 to 4/0 sizes. But all these websites and stores have flys in the 1 to 4 sizes OR a 1/0 to 3/0. So what would be good for regular flies? shrimp imitations? poppers?

And any tips and pointers would be great too. Give me your email or myspace. Love talking to fisherman about the sport.

Thanks for ya time:)

I really want to get into fly fishing, just to do something different besides the usual fishing with my spinning rod and reel with lures, jig, etc. Though I know very little about Fly fishing. I know a bit about the simple stuff, like what the rod wt means and stuff like that, but I don’t know what works best for what. First, What size rod should I get (wt). I mainly fish largemouth and peacock bass, and occasionally I fish saltwater for fish no more than a few pounds. But I am also interested in catching small tarpon that I see very often in a lake behind my house. What Rod wt would be best for my needs? Also, what is a good, affordable brand of rod and reel to get, I heard redington is a good brand and cheaper than other brands, but im not so sure. And if there is anything else that is important that i should know, please let me know, thanks!
