First fly rod & reel

Paul,

I hope you picked up a few Clouser minnows and some heavier woolly buggers as they're great for evening eyes, which might come in handy on your trip to La Verendrye Park.

Well, I picked up a bunch of flies... but none of those.

I didn't bring my fly-line up on the trip... probably a good call given the lack of fishing that was done. It was also really windy. Anyway, only fished a couple of hours total... and only one very small (16"?!) pike caught!

joco - yeah, lets go! I'll bring a few types of rods / gear and we can give them all a try!

pm sent!

Well the fewer things you can get tangled on is better. Fly boxes, etc that sink are bad and if you're in the habbit of dropping rods overboard, rod leashes are a good idea as well.

There's another habit I hope I never pick up!! Fishing is expensive enough as it is!!
