CHSbound those flies leaders and tippet made me have an excuse for going to the fly shop in mt p and that helped alot. byf i got the reel you mentioned and its great that helped tremendously on me finding the stuff i needed. thank you hurricane for giving me those flies and advice the whole way. all you guys helped out alot, their certainly is a wondeful fishing community around here. now all im waiting for is to catch my first red OTF! i cant wait! my 8 year old brother is so excited using my big one im getting him cheap 6wt to catch small reds and trout on. fly fishing is now a family thing!

ill try! uploading those pictures is confusing and yes i do have a photobucket. and inshorefisherman, your only 15? thats cool and your business sounds like a super fun way to make money. i will definitly give you a call about some flies when i start improving my casting and am ready to get out in the salt with the fly rod. if you have any good looking weedless ones, those are the ones i wouldnt be able to tie myself then i would especially be interested. i was going to mess around and try to tie a version of the the ep baitfish with a weedguard.

yakman that is really cool. This group of people will give you the shirt of their backs if you are humble and ask for advice.
inshore fisherman is way beyond his years in fishing ability, I can assure you that!
Good luck and post up some pics of your first catch. It wont be long until the tailers are back
Good luck, Yakman. I predict that your first fly caught red will convert you for sure. I caught my first trout on a fly at age 4. That was 60 years ago. You have some catching up to do, so post a picture of that first red for us soon.

haha that looks like a cool one inshorefisherman, i am gonnna mess with one in a silver color to resemble a finger mullet and one in a brown with a light brown chenille(sp) head and some flash in the back to simulate a MM. and nikonjedi i was wondering about how that little mono would stop that grass…
capn crunch, my dad and i were practicing our casts at the park in the lake and we could see the stripers and hybrids right on the surface feeding they were about 6 or 8 feet out of my casting range, it was maddening! and i cant wait to catch that first spottail!

yeah james island county park across from the dogpark if you take the first right after you pay and then keep going right the road curves and it goes along the shore. you can pull your truck up off the road and park and fish their from the shore. i used to put my kayak in right their when we were camping at jicp for fun.
