Any flyfishermen on here?
I sure could use some help on casting Bill, sounds like a great time you had with your son.
I use floating line with a 2 foot leader of 4lb line, I can roll it, I think that is what they call it, its moving the fly left or right just a couple feet by rolling the tip of the rod, I have walked back to the house just to get m fly rod when the Croppy is not hitting jigs..
I bet the channel cat sure is a blast to catch on a fly rod!! A must do some time
