Re: Sight casting drum and redfish on fly

That looks like loads of fun, but I can't handle casting a fly rod sitting down. I much prefer to stand in the boat to target fish. Might just be my trout fishing roots. I took a clunky old canoe down to the coast last winter and caught my first Redfish on a fly that way.

I can't really help with vintage glass, but I really enjoy a 5wt Epic for dry fly fishing, and it is still light enough to chase 4" panfish.

Re: Cold Enough For You?!

New to the forum, didn't see anywhere to introduce myself, so I'll just start chiming in where I feel like it I guess. I'm a MT transplant to TX so I have no frame of reference for how bad these fish kills are. In a worst case scenario, is this going to have a 2 year impact? 5 year? 20? I just caugh...
