Any fly fishers here. what type of gear do you carry on your trips. Do you fish drys or wets. what length of rod do you carry?
Never seen that Tankara rod before , years ago a few mfg. made steel rods on the same principle but heavy & with dull action , is that graphite , hows the action ?
I flyfish out of my canoes all the time.
My favorite canoe to fish out of (wc and high-end composite people don't read this) is my 15' aluminum. Very stable, wide, plenty of room and I can stand in it comfortably without worrying about tipping. Caught a lot of fish out of that canoe over the past 40 some years....
I came across this Mad River Winooski yesterday, fiberglass, 14' by 5' wide..(it just looks 5', actually 39"), lots of write ups claiming it to be a good fly fishing platform.
I tried fly fishing back in the day, never had the time or money to really get into it. I'd like to try again, any suggestions for a reasonable rod/reel/line/tippets/flys for pan fish/small bass out of a canoe? Nothing expensive or classic, just a decent starter outfit.
Thanks
Canotrogue - Nice pike for a first one. These slime machines are a blast on a fly rod. I'd like to see you deal with one on your Tenkara outfit!
