Fly Fishing - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Mr. Adventure · 04-10-2012, 10:18 AM

I'd want the trout gear (found a 4wt) because that's where I enjoy being already, and my family can get me on arrowhead (private) Lake on my kayak and it would be fun fly fishing up there.

I found this http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/spo/2901753230.html which the reviews I've read are great for the gear and I priced it all at just over $500 when i did my research. I'll go to bass pro and see if I can demo a similar rod.

People in reviews have said it's great for streams and creeks and can even handle large mouth bass. If I like it enough i could get a salt water reel and use it for bay bass. Heck even playing macks with it could be fun.

Also considering how much I've spent on yak fishing, that seems like a deal!

Deep Creek flyfishers

High desert flyfishers

Get in touch with either, they are both close to you. They'll help you out. From advice to free lessons and even going fishing with experienced guys.

That 4 weight outfit will be a good start, do not spend any more cash till you know what you like and don't get caught up in the gear hype of flyfishing.
Its like golf, lots of guys walk with a $500 fly rod and don't catch crap.

A mac on that 4 weight is a huge battle.

The most memorable fishing trip I ever had was catching breezing bonito on an 8 wt fly rod out at Catalina one year...

Makes me want to get out the fly tying kit right now and tie up some Lefty Deceivers and Surf Candies.

Deep creek is usually where I like hiking, natural hotsprings, waterfalls you can jump off and miles and miles of solitude of gorgeous scenery. I will get in touch with them for sure.
