Home Forums Fishing Flyfishing Help please.

Thanks fellas.I'm hooked.I went this afternoon and bought a tapered line with a locking system.I managed to strip the line of vinyl 6"'s.I then ran cloth internal of line through cone(tied knot) and then fastened liter.I caught a 6" smallmouth and it was a blast.The reel is a garcia...something automatic 1430.The rod is a two piece "Herters"-7'-2".I think it's graphite.The main difference I saw in mine and modern ones at wal-mart was that It has no reel.All I could do when I caught the fish was hit the lever and draw up the slack.Then I hap- hazardly drew line in til I got him to the bank.Thanks for any help.By the way ...I lost 2 flys in brush,hooked my shirt while trying to cast and ...Thanks,Dan
