Kayak Fly Fishing / Guys, Do You Surmise It's Wise To Put Eyes On Flies?
« on: August 30, 2018, 02:56:06 PM »
Eyes on flies - do they matter in terms of actual hook-ups?

Opinions? Stories? Drunken rants? Let me hear 'em.

My sense it that it's 99% about the movement through the water, not the detailed appearance that matters. Case in point - Scott's jetty fly:

That thing is ugly, but it must have all kinds of motion in the water. That said, I still add eyes to most flies I tie.

Kayak Fly Fishing / Fly Line for Jetty Fishing
« on: July 13, 2018, 02:54:05 PM »
Hi All, I want to start by acknowledging this isn't a question about fishing from a kayak, but I figure it there is a lot of commonality between fishing from a jetty and from a kayak in terms of the depths of water one might encounter (I'm talking between 10-30 feet or so). Currently I fish a floating weight-forward line and try to control the depth of the fly by the length of my leader (I usually just fish a single piece of mono or flouro leader and heavy flies). Eventually the tip will sink. I have caught most of my fish using this setup in about 10-15 feet of water. What's your opinion on the best type of fly line to fish in this situation? Full sinking? Sink tip? Something else? How important do you consider the leader/tippet to be in this scenario? Thanks!

I'm joining more for the fishing stuff than the kayaking, although I do plan to get into it. I do a fair amount of shore fishing, including saltwater fly fishing. This seems like a really nice and knowledgeable community - looking forward to joining in and learning.
