>>1607840>cant get in the strikezone as long or accurately as you could? I dont understand? When i swing flies im right against the bottom, and with the swing-step method you cover every square foot of a run quickly.
>if they're gonna take a swinging streamer I can probably get them with a little rooster tailWho ever would have guessed that a fish willing to chase down a moving bait would probably be willing to chase down a different moving bait too?
>false castingTwo words: skagit head
>big thick scary lineThe fish havent seemed to be turned away by it yet. Years i went after them with spinning gear, i only ever caught one once i started swinging flies.
>fly fishing has its placeIndeed, we can agree on that. There are scenarios where a fly rod is supperior. Small nymphs and dry flies come to mind, as well as sightfishing carp. There's not really anything better than an 8 weight fly rod for delivering a bait to a carp in 10 inches of water without spooking it, while still having the backbone to convince the fish that it doesn't actually need to be in a tree.
>>1607846A 9 foot 10 weight with a god drag and an aggressive line. You'll need strong backing, and fairly big streamers.
Will it increase the odds of catching one? Maybe, but it will definitely make catching one a lot more fun
