WHO HERE LOVES FLY FISHING???

[lujor]

I fly fish for bass every now and then...
I once lived in Florida in a condo that had a small canal running behind it. It had some small tarpon 3-4ft. range. On my back porch you had about 3 feet to the water and 25 feet past that to the mangroves...I'd have to cast side to side so as not to hang up on the house. I tied some salt water flies of Lefty Krehs design, never did land one of those buggers. The first time one of those guys came rocketing out of the water 5 feet in the air...It was like S#%T...did anyone else see that !!!

I've known people who had luck catching juvy tarpons at night by docks that had underwater lighting. I went scuba diving in the Keys a few years back and we got into some murky water. We were swimming in a group trying to get out of the cloudy water when our guide stopped and pointed straight ahead; it was a huge school of man-sized tarpon crossing right in front of us. It's one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

flyfishing for snook off the beach in the morning is as good as it gets
