Title: Just got back from Fly Fishing Post by: Dalkore on July 30, 2012, 09:35:32 PM I just wanted to say I missed you guys. Was on the Montana and Idaho border for over a week fly-fishing. It was hot as hell during the day and cold at night. We caught many fish and built some great camp fires. I do love the outdoors. Now back to work and discourse.

I'm not very good at it, but I always fly fish when I backpack in the Sierras in the summer. The last few summers I've been getting into Tankara (Japanese) style fly fishing. I love the simplicity of it, and how lightweight the equipment is. I think my entire fishing kit for backpacking maybe weighs around 7 oz at this point (though I haven't actually weighed it). In case you've never heard of it, here's a website that sells Tenkara gear.
http://www.tenkarausa.com/ The video section has some good demonstrations of the style. I guess someone should tell them to accept bitcoins!

I use a composite now and the action is too much imho. I would a natural fiber rod so it has more play in it. I got some good 14-17 inch trouts (rainbow and cut-throats) when I was up there. Last year I landed a monster 23 incher that made me fight it for a good 20 mins.
