I am also very jealous Brookie Chaser. Though you may need to change your screen name if you keep pulling in those tarpon.

I think PoonChaser means something different...
I'm guilty as charged on both counts...
Well my casting is improving so that is half of one down. Still can't seem to get the double hauldown. More work is required.
Need to get a musky on fly for the first time, last fall I put a little time into doing so and came close with hooking and losing one.....this one is more of a pipe dream but a freshwater striper on fly out of raystown lake. That would be a dream come true to hook a monster striper on fly. It is possible with a lot of time and effort. I'm an hour and 15 min from raystown, so I don't know know the lake very well. I would assume spring or fall is best chance cuz they start going shallow, hardest part of the equation is finding the areas they frequent, it's a big lake and I'm on kayak with a fly rod, 😂 so any info that anyone is willing to provide would be greatly appreciated
If you don’t mind driving east a bit further. Marsh creek lake has a lot of muskies. I got one close to 40 “ on a buzz bait last week and talked to 2 other guys who each caught one the same morning. It’s electric motor only lake , so good for kayaking. It can get crowded though. I haven’t tried FF for them.Need to get a musky on fly for the first time, last fall I put a little time into doing so and came close with hooking and losing one.....this one is more of a pipe dream but a freshwater striper on fly out of raystown lake.

I'll keep that in mind, I have a good bit of musky spots within an hour of me.....I need spots for snakehead and freshwater striperIf you don’t mind driving east a bit further.

Thanks for the tip. I'll give that a shot.I thought of a drill that might help with the double haul. You could do this in your living room.
Get a yellow theraband resistance band. Take the lower section of your fly rod with the reel on it. Grip the cork and one end of the band with your rod hand, grab the band with your line hand. Then imitate your casting stroke pulling down on the band and bring your line hand back to the reel at the beginning and end of each casting stroke. The shorter the casting stroke the shorter the haul, the longer the casting stroke the longer the haul. This should help with muscle memory.
Woah, impressive specimen
