To me , when I put the trolling motor down I want to cover water quickly and efficiently. I actually like dredging flies deep for landlocked Salmon, trout, big smallmouth and reef species in the salt.. I have friends that do really well targeting LM but I just prefere gear...nothing more. I like the sensitivity you can get with the rods with out line drag and covering deep structure I can see on my graph.Who knows, maybe I will spend some time over the winter with BIG flies and try and stick a pig. a 10+ on a fly would be pretty rewarding and totally possible in the places I fish. I guess I'm a hybrid angler ha! Thanks for the comments.

You have to fish what the situation calls for.

Try fishing a fly down 40ft off a rocky point like you would a soft plastic on a spin rod... Anyways, nice fish!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779732264661076995.post-10640751386349312742013-12-05T07:47:37.307-08:002013-12-05T07:47:37.307-08:00Nice fish!
