Delw Report post Posted June 1, 2021 grew up fly fishing in japan. browns and bows some salmon and lots of saltwater, then in the states every trout species except for the silver, gila apaches. I think Grayling trout and seas run cuts were my favorite. smallies on the yakima river, here I did some LM. but carp fly fishing is an absolute blast. wasnt to keen on fly fishing here in AZ after being in Japan and all the other states. I still need to catch a tarpoon on a flyrod and a northern bigger then a hammer handle on a flyrod. caught plenty of decent northerns here just nothing decent on a fly rod yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some buddies and I purchased all of the permits for Christmas Tree lake in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to spend the day floating & casting for those trout. Also greatly enjoy pulling streamers for smallmouth on the Black River on occasion. Good fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have, only place I ever fished for them purposly. canyon and pleasant. I used cigarette butts and foam ear plugs. they will eat anything thrown on the water that floats and reassembles popcorn. There trash fish and just nasty , not to mentio your buddies will give you crap but they fight better than any other fish I have caught including on rod and reel. I didnt fly fish that much here in AZ maybe 3-5 times a year 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted June 1, 2021 I used to go backpacking in Glacier and Yellowstone just to flyfish many years ago. Big Lake was nice when the average rainbow was 15". I have not flyfished much in recent years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
