Hey guys its been a while. Very busy at home these days and busy on the water too!
Im still waiting on the BIG ONE but I can now go fishing and actually catch fish without makin a fool of myself????
So i have a friend whos camp is near the salmon river in NY and were plannin on givin it a shot for this years run. After doing some research I may have trouble throwing the streamers I need with minimum backcast room. In open water I dont have much trouble anymore but I dont know really what to expect up there.
Looking online I came accross a method of fishing called skagit?
Its basically a separate line from your mainline that creates a shorter, heavier shooting line for roll casting big stuff.
Has anyone had luck or experience with this line? Is it possible to achieve any kind of skagit style cast with just a 9 foot rod (8wt)
Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks!
