Tis a good question......when any of the girls go with me, it's usually with the tackle box and cranking....the rare times i get to go alone, it's the waders and fly rod...I have a blast with crankbaits or spinners (depends where we are) but there's just something about wading out there and throwing some line out and watching that nasty ole dry fly just floating down stream...

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [VFB] Re: Chunking & Winding vs Fly Fishing - Food for thoughtDate: Mon, 13 Oct 2008 23:23:07 +0000 Once a year on a regular basis. I go to a lodge in northern Ontario. It's a pretty good size lake and the main quarry is walleye. Since I go up in mid-July, they're mainly in 20-25 feet of water. Not real conducive to fly fishing. So I drag out my my three spinning rods, one trolling rod plus my two fly rods. Trip is usual about 70-30, chunking & winding-fly fishing. I've caught a dozen pike on the fly rod the last 3 years and maybe 3 or 4 on lures. The only other time I'll do it is if I'm flounder fishing with my buddy. Again, I take a fly rod with me and I'll use it if there's any surface action with bluefish or we're drifting in shallow enough water that I can get my fly down and keep it down during the drift. --Jerry Caruso [EMAIL PROTECTED] "All things considered, I'd rather be in Philadelphia" -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Jimmy D.
