Fly Fishing Thread .....

So to
You guys who bought a Mr Ant’s rod that actually know how to use a fly rod…What’s your review?
Excellent rod! There may be better, but to me, they cast easily and long distance. They are also accurate and light. I haven't fought any good fish on mine yet, but can't imagine there would be a problem.

Bottom line? Definitely worth the money. Good value for a good rod.
 
I finally got out and played with mine in the yard today. Left a fly stuck in the cable line on my back cast lol. I love the rod, but have nothing to compare it to so I thought I’d ask. I’m hoping to take it to a pond tomorrow and catch some brim.

My first Northern Pike on a fly rod! The best part of it all was that I got to watch it streak out of the lillie pads and crush my big, ugly streamer. It was 26.5” long, not very thick, but it put up a good fight. It’s also my biggest Northern Pike overall.

Yeah, man! That's some fun right there!
 
Caught this at the country club on my old beater rod I keep in my office. Never really gave much thought to green sunfish, but this one sure was pretty, maybe had some interbreeding with the shell crackers?
