Flyfishing can be a target specific sport. I.E. What are you after. One thing I have learned as a flyfisherman that fishes many different locations, because of my job,is this. Based on your equipment pick a fish you can reach,and try to apply your stuff to that. One help I have found is to look at how the locales do it regardless of the gear. For example, if guy's are catching halibut in the surf with white jigs, then match it. Use a sinktip or shooting head or full sinking line with a white clouser. Something that matches what there doing. Check out the Dan Blanton web site at dan blanton guestbook. Good luck, Mark C
