I had a short while where I was dreaming of becoming a pro bass fisherman ....it was short lived. Ill stick to recreational

Haha I just do it for the fun. And I learn a lot from the guys who I fish against.

I fish a lot, but not as much this year as in the past for some reason. I normally fly fish unless I am using something like live/chunk bait. Normally catch: bluegill, bass, catfish, river redhorse, etc. Also enjoy fishing in the Smoky Mountains for native brook trout.

whats the little one?

It is a native Smoky Mountain Brook Trout. Most of the ones caught in the Smoky Mountains average about 5-7", so the one pictured is a bit small. I will put up a picture of the stream I was fishing. The stream was 10-15' wide at most and only 1-2' deep. It can be difficult trying to get the fly to go where you want without catching a tree!

I love fly fishing. I'm out of practice tho

Since I have started fly fishing, I can hardly use a spinning rod any more. I get birds nests and all the other inherent problems with spinning fishing. I know a fly rod will outfish a spinning rod any day, as long as the fisherman knows what he is doing

 

[tarpon]

Its really a lot more versatile in my opinion. It's hard for me to cast far tho

Always wanted to try it ever since I saw river runs through it.

Your high lol I'll catch 10x as many fish with a spinning rod than you will with a fly rod.

I fish every chance I get mostly SW and practice filet and release

It all depends on the operator, I have seen many accounts of a fly fisher outfishing spinning fishers in the same area, 10 to 1. However, every rod has its pros and cons; you can't exactly lob a piece of shrimp,worm,shad, etc. as well with a fly outfit. There is just something more natural about fly fishing.

I tend to fish the rivers near home in the interior of Alaska.

Rods don't make much difference, lures matter. I find the best spots for getting fish are the worst for casting, and often an ice fishing rod (or a line with no rod) can get you into an eddy full of greyling. They like shade, bugs and eddies all of which tend be in shallow water surrounded by trees not good for standing or boating.
