Ultra Light Reds 7/4
 

Tried to go fly fishing on the 4th in dulac
They were not having it early. We saw a ton of reds but they all spooked really early or wouldn't eat. Finally about 10 they acted a little better.

1000 shimano 8#pp 6'8" ultra light castaway
Fun to catch 27" reds on you sac a lait rod.
My buddy did end up catching one on a fly. While I polled him around which is hard to get used to but at the end of the day I had it down.

Awesome trip, what kind of boat were y'all in?

18' beaver tail.
60 e tec. Thing gets crazy shallow.

Awesome trip man

Thank little live target shrimp looks awesome in the water. They can't stand it. That sheep even chased it 3 feet.

Great looking sheep.

Looks like fun,light tackle is the way to go. I don't have a ultralight,use a light action castaway with a 2500 symetre.

Nice trip,cant wait til I can get bak on the water,damn issues at work holding me back,guess that's good for the fish.

Good job Clampy, poling looks a lot easier than it is, especially when the wind is blowing. I poled 2 buddies from out of state around for 3 days memorial day weekend and never left the poling platform. They tried to fish on their own the day after I left and called me about mid day saying "How in the **** do you manage to keep that boat straight in the wind?". They have a new appreciation for what I did for them for 3 days.

Now we know why people are catching fish. Cause Big-C aint already caught em all. :)
I bet that was fun on that light gear. Nice trip bro.

I was the same way. My first time fly fishing my buddy polled me all day and it looked easy so I thought "pfft I got that "
Started spinning in circles. I got the hang of it after about a hour but still had the occasional miss step.

It's like casting a fly rod, swinging a golf club or anything else, not really all that difficult, just requires a little practice. It's good to see new folks getting into fly fishing. To me there's no form of fishing more exciting than sight casting on the flats.

Nice! I've caught them on ultra light poles before too, talk about some live action there!!
