[QUOTE="Mr. Stevenson, post: 302006, member: 7414"] --Know enough about fly fishing to make me dangerous; here goes: JK is correct about the wind. Conversely; the east side bank from the dam to the boat ramp is more wade friendly and allows for better roll casting (a Spey rod would not be out of order). Wading; IMHO, would require no less than a 7wt. There are fish in that water which would easily approximate saltwater quarry and all would hit a blue back/white streamer. Duplicating Rapala's "Clown" would also be effective. I wouldn't be surprised of walleye action during the "purple" times of day. [B]Perfect World[/B]: From a boat the world is your oyster: One 9wt, one 7wt rod Two reels for each; one sinking, one floating (9wt with appropriate leaders for pike) [B][I]From shore[/I][/B] (again perfectish world): [B]7wt;[/B] two reels: [B]Sinking[/B] rigged for streamers equipped with appropriate leader (fluorocarbon) [B]Floating: [/B]Rigged for large terrestrials. All tapers should be the shooting variety IMO. Again, I'm talking out of my ass based upon much reading, fishing shows and experience throwing jerkbaits from shore down there. I hope this blather is helpful and would much appreciate reporting of any result. [/QUOTE]
