To catch a predator Usmc fly fishing training today

[TEB]

Yup we’re gonna diversify , from the world of ultralight spinning to medium spinning fishing to fly fishing. I never really got into fly fishing but it’s time to change at 53 years old. Our instructor is jay a friend I’ve known for at least 3 decades we have worked as teamsters steering wheel holders Preston 151 red star then roadway I left after the roadway yellow merger. Screw your pension relief I went to another freight ops paying full pension.

Ok I’m sorry rambling I’m bored my wife and mother in law headed out to shop for grandkids , boys hit their jobs at horse farm they get done 14:00 maybe 15:00. So Jay is coming to pick me up, I joke he’s good friend father husband former marine kid battle of Hue city. So usmc vet is teaching fly fishing to us why The boys and dad love to fish and we’re out together regardless if we are on em catching or not , I saw a guy other week pulling bass out lake in canoe with fly set up.

It was mid day hot and we bagged fishing they were not biting on our spinning set up so the boys and dad put the kayaks in to stroll around the water and grounded zodiac until evening ,trout bass like to feed early morning and evenings. And in the midday heat when fish like to go deep cooler water this guy was cleaning house in middle of the Day sun was high he was catching bass on flies casting into the water lily patches and flooded trees.

So this will give us in our arsenal capabilities to keep on catching, we live near fabulous limestone streams for trout as well and this time year trout looking up so fly fishing we will be able to venture into summer trout instead of our ultralight spinning reels spring and fall hunts.

So jt is taking me to local fly shop this morning so we can gear up spend a little for quality the boys and dad at decent price. Then it’s on will be unstoppable I love catching trout brownies natives , I love when you hook a rainbow and the sun hits it so beautiful. And always so careful keeping them in water I teach my boys don’t try handle them always by the mouth, in holding their bodies that film they have to protect them from parasites catch and release.

1. You'll have to update us on how you like fly fishing

My hubby says he knows people who just love it and won't fish any other way. H's never tried it either.

2. Since I got into fly fishing years ago......

All the rest of my gear, which is extensive when count manyqrods, reels, lurws, ets.have been collecting dust. I haven't bought a lure in many years, I only buy materials I need to tie my own flies. Nothing can beat the satisfaction of catching fish using flies that I tied myself. The art of tying one's own flies provides many hours of enjoying fishing when you can't be out fishing.

Enjoy fly fishing my friend. May you become addicted to a lifetime of pleasure and satisfaction.

4. We're on way fly shop

Jay brought us rods like me he’s a hoarder I need his guidance in purchasing fly reels nothing to pricey. He is driving his pickup and all excited I know you’re boys going to love this.

I guess practical like our spinning reels shimano daiwa mostly and the sizes 1000 for ultralight set up

To 2500 size for medium bass musky walleye

Actually we like ultralight for large mouth bass at time but price wise I usually try anything for around 100$ Shimano stradics to lately the daiwa regal fine quality for like 62$ 10 ball bearings smooth.

Thank you friend
