Anyone else Fly Fish?

[Drgnracin72]

I started last summer up in Gunnison Colorado, and was immediately hooked. Just wondering what everyone fishes with, and what is your preference on weights depending on what your fishing? I'm fishing a Sage launch 590 5wt, 9' long, with a North Fork FlyFishing prototype large arbor, also in a 5wt.

Nope, I tried it and it makes a good day fishing feel an awful lot like a day of work. All my fishing is done with an open face reel, I like to take it easy when I fish.

None of that makes any sense to me. Been thinking about getting into it for several years now. My BIL gave me a starter rod/reel some years ago for Christmas but it's sat in the closet ever since.

I started years ago, but never excelled. I tie flies, and really enjoy that.

I just started about three years ago. I'm using a 6wt TFO 2pc rod with a white river reel.
We have gone trout fishing at least twice a year, to lake Tanneycomo or the lower mountain fork for the last 25 years Always used spinning gear until taking the plunge. I'm finally learning presentation, mending, and the casting is coming along. I've been using a 9' tapered leader with Rio 3.2 lb tippit. I was at Tanneycomo last fall, and complained in the fly shop about all the trout coming to my zebra midge, only to swim off. The guy said they were seeing the tippet, and sold me some 2lb fluorocarbon. Immediately started catching trout, and stayed on them all day.
Pic is my favorite place to fish on Tanneycomo.

What are you after? I have been thinking about making some to sell. Lately, I have been making crappie jigs. If you were interested it would give me a good excuse to tool up again.

I mostly use a 9' TFO lefty kreh, 6wt, for the bass around here.

i fly fish sometimes, but we don't have many trout lakes/rivers around there.

Thats what my dad uses, and what I started out on last year. Except both of us are using 5 wt, as most of our fishing is up in colorado in streams, and some larger rivers. I've been thinking about getting a larger setup to do some bass fishing around here. Would be pretty fun to get ahold of an 8-10 lbs bass on the end of one of these.
