Saltwater Fly Fishing

CorineGSmith · CorineGSmith

I have just moved to Minnesota and I am only beginning to fish here and do not know the area. Need help to decide which rod weight to use? I have a 3wt, 5wt and a 6wt. Which will be good as a beginner?

Did 2 days of surf fishing last weekend. Unfourtenitly I was bait fishing. The surf was pretty intense, Flyrod wasn't going to work. It's pretty cool fishing. I got a few surf perch, and a few little rockfish. Anyone flyfish in the surf ?

Went to Costa Rica a couple of weeks ago with my wife and some friends. Got in a couple of 1/2 days of panga fishing although it wasn't a fishing trip. I blanked out on snook and roosterfish, but got a lot of 5lb bonito which were plenty feisty enough. Interestingly, the most effective flies were a...

Here are a few pix of some stripers I caught in CT on my summer vacation. It was my first time fly fishing for stripers and, let me tell you, it was a blast. Having that much fun is usually illegal... I can't wait to go again. Anyone have a boat and know where to fish the Delta? Hint, hint. 19 fish to hand, all re...

I've been an east coast small stream fly fisher for years and want to get back into fly fishing after having moved to the SfFBay area a few years ago. I thought I'd like to try surf casting for Surf perch, around the Santa Cruz, Monterey areas. What's the time of year when these are catchable? thanks!
