  • Questions about fly fishing with spey rods?

    Ok guys, this weekend I was using a 11' 6wt Cabela's LSi Spey and Switch Rod for steelhead fishing in lake Erie. I really liked the rod I caught 2 steelhead (one was 10 pounds) with it and lost 4 or 5 but the only type of cast i was using and a roll/spey cast. So basically I was wondering if when your using spey rods can you use the traditional fly cast and the false casting with those types of rods?

    Any help will be appreciated. Im thinking about buying one of these rods soon.

  • Can you troll with a fly fishing rod and reel outfit?

    i was watching a fishing show on verses and they were in Vancouver trolling for salmon. And it look like they were using fly fishing rods and reels, they didnt have fly line on them though. They might of been center pin reels but they had drags..... Do they make fly fishing reel that you can troll with or are they just reels that look like fly reels?

  • What the best knot from tying a leader to fly line?

    Whats the best knot for tying a mono leader to weight forward fly line?

    Is the perfection loop to loop a good and reliable knot for tying them together? I saw that becuase most of the tapered leaders have the perfection loop on them.

    Oh and P.S. I fish for steelhead in the rivers of Lake Erie so the fish i fish for are strong and I dont want any to break me off because of the knot

  • Flying Fishing Questions?

    I bought a bunch of flies/streamers from this website and I got these 2 bass streamers and they are kind of big and when im trying to cast them it they dont shoot as far but when im using the other little ones the cast/shoot perfect.

    The size hooks on the big flies are 2/0 and im using 5/6 WF fly line.

    Do I have to do something different with using bigger flies?

  • A good fly fishing rod and reel combo?

    I have a fly fishing rod and reel combo but its really old (40+ years) and I want a new rod+reel combo. I mostly fish for large mouth and small mouth bass and bluegill. But when the steelhead are running at Lake Erie I want to be able to take the rod with me to fish for steelhead with it. I am only 16 so I have to buy this rod and reel so I would like it not to be more than $150. If you guys/girls have any suggestions please tell me. Thanks!

  • My fly fishing line wont "shoot"?

    Okay well when im trying to get the line to shoot so it will go farther. I start out buy false casting about 30 feet of line and i have another 10 feet of line in my hand, ill false cast it about 4-5 times and then ill whip it forward and let go of the line in my hand and no more line will cast out other than the original 30 feet i was false casting.

    The line im using is pretty old, i would say anywhere form 5-10 years old. Could my problem be that im using really old line or am i just doing something wrong

  • What does the line weight do in fly fishing?

    What do the different line weights mean? Does it help with your casting. more weight= farther the cast? Is it easier to cast sinking or floating fly line

  • Fly fishing rod and reel combo?

    I have been fly fishing for a few months now and I want to buy a new fly fishing rod and reel combo.

    I have been using a 40+ year old fly fishing rod that was given to me by my grandpa and its not really a "good" quality fishing rod.

    I want to know what a good combo would be if im fishing for mostly Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, Bluegill, and if its good enough I might take it to Lake Erie when the Steelhead are running up he streams, and maybe even try fishing for pike with it!

    My budget is about $150 tops

  • Is it normal for a bass to eat.....?

    Is it normal for a bass to eat birds? Its sound kinda weird but today when i was fishing in my pond i caught a 3 pound bass and when i was getting my popper out of its mouth i say 2 bird legs and the birds claws sticking out of its throat. My pond doesnt have very many/no bluegill in it so i think that's why it had to eat a bird, i have also noticed that since there is no bluegill for the bass to eat they are eating all the little bass. Should me and my dad get more bluegill in our pond?
