New to the Fishing Game

I agree.

We can wedge bait cast fishing between fly fishing and spin casting and call it The Strongman of fishing.

Greetings!

Was up in Maine last year (Greenville area) and the fly fishing up there blew away anything I’ve experienced in Maryland (freshwater that is).

The brook trout up there were huge; 10"+ not uncommon. Tons of land locked salmon as well.

Elk hair caddis and Irresistible Adams in the sizes 14 & 16 did the trick.

Now it’s just chartreuse clouser minnows and the crappie in local ponds/lakes.

Rather be in Maine.

I love the Adams. I tie a parachute in 14 and 16 that are my never fail, go to fly throughout the laurel highlands. And If it does fail, I just blame the fish.
I hit a creek last week that has produced some brook from 14 to 18 inches and tons of others from hatchling to mid size. The big ones are always a surprise.
