Hello stagers, I'm quite a learned person when it comes to many things, but am a complete dunce when it comes to Fly Fishing. I will admit that I have never tried it and it looks like a lot of hard work to obtain the same results as a bait casting or spinning reel. From what I've seen you don't reel in the line, but instead you pull it and let the excess dangle and float in the water. Please understand I'm not trying to be sarcastic here, but Inquiring Minds Want To Know. Please explain to me the concept and the why of Fly Fishing. I wish to thank you in advance for this learning opportunity. Commander Bell out

As a fly guy my whole life the best advice I would give anyone is find someone to show you the ropes that’ll save you 10s and 10s of hrs of aggravation find a local fly shop sign up for a class or sign up for a trip with a professional fly guide on a creek or river the latter would be best
Beautiful Brown trout hoping to hit the Clarion river in central Pa on Saturday it’s true trophy waters (catch and release only) but that’s how they get big
Me I’m a fly rod guy use them for everything I have 6 right now 3wts for small trout 5-6 wts for bigger trout 7 wt for huge trout and steelhead and striped bass a 9 wt for musky and when I get to the ocean have not picked up a spinning rod for 30 years nothing against them though
So maybe you got steelhead confused with kokes? I thought true steelhead had to have river access to return to saltwater? Never heard of true steelhead in a freshwater lake?
They live in both except fresh water ones are usually stocked with limited natural reproduction
Looks good Cougar. I also process my own deer. Make bulk sausage, burger, cube steaks, snack sticks and summer sausage. Taste much better then store bought. What kind of seasoning do you use. I use Leggs.
We use Conyeager spices local company about 15 miles north of Pittsburgh
Been rather cold here in SW Pa so not much fishing going on ,how ever our Deer season is still in for 1 more week so I got a good Doe and made some Bacon Burgers and Maple flavored breakfast sausage out of her here’s a picture of 25 lbs of fresh sausage
