Well I finally did it! Bought a fly rod I thank @cowboy713 for getting me hooked on this. Got it from Basspro shops good rod and reel set casts pretty smooth has ...more pretty good action. Comes fully rigged with leader and tippet for a first time fly fisher it's a great setup weather permitting I'm gonna break it in tomorrow!

Sunny day bout 80 degrees. My first time ever fly fishing. Had @Cowboy713 teaching me how to cast and set the hook. So my first time went pretty good I'd say. ...more Definitely be buying my own setup and doing it again it was a blast!

Mostly cloudy cool about 70 degrees low on funds and gas but that didn't stop me from going with @Cowboy713 and @Texasboy21 we had a lot of bites but no hook ...more ups only me and @Cowboy713 caught fish but still was a fun day thanks for the invite will be doing it again for sure!
Added a new pole today! Ugly Stik 9ft rod medium hevy action 12-30 lb line. Gonna be used mostly for Redfish. Maybe some coast fishing. Also has a Penn Fierce reel ...more 4+1 steel bearing system with a 5.6:1 gear ratio. Tried to break it in today but no such luck! Be back there next week!
