It was a cold day and the bite was off, but some hard core anglers showed and did the best they could.

Ray brought the fish of the day in at 23 3/4 inches.

You can see the video and pictures right here:

Nice looking fish you got there Bud! :thumb: The video was awesome! I would like to learn the art of flyfishing one day. Do those reels have a drag like baitcasters and spinning reels do? They don't look like they have a real good gear ratio; maybe I'm wrong. :?

Fisher,

Yes, fly reels do have a drag system, but you can just palm the reel is you so choose as well. Fly fishing is an art and a great hobby, and you don't have to give up gear fishing. It is as wonderful as it is frustrating :bang: , but very gratifying when you catch fish :lol: . Several clubs have free lessons. by the way you can fly fish saltwater as well.

Most fly reels are not geared. There are some very expensive salmon reels that are, but that's about it. You can make up for this a little by using a large arbor reel where the "spool" is bigger thereby taking up more line with each turn.
