One time I used my friends ultra light fly rod with a humpy as a fly and caught huge sunnies and perch. It was awesome.
well its like the fly rod is so bendy that when you catch even the smallest bluegill they will put up a large fight for you, its almost like the rod has no torque on the fish so its all felt by you on the reel. but i got my tapered leader tangled up so now my poppers sink, maybe next summer ill get that back up and running again. i loved it alot, no bait, just you and the pond. good idea nitro lol, but if you go fly fishing you gotta make sure other ppl stand far away lol, that line really goes flyin'

My favorite part is when the sunny stares at the fly, the just sucks it in and then I set the hook. So much fun. But I made the mistake of fishing near timber and good my line stuck on a branch... it sucked but I got it off eventually.
 
i should really get back into that next summer, ill have free time. but im cheap and dont want to pony up the 13 dollars for the license lol

Yea same thing as fly fishing for marlin... that would be amazing to do. Heard of a guy who caught one from a Kayak on a fly rod.
