what the heck? whats the point of using a fly rod when you dont have a crank to reel a big fish in, i mean cranking in a big carp or something with your hands would be a pain!!!

[jstotesbury]

@HaloRocks70 Did you see any carp?? Duh, we were bream fishing!! I've been Fly Fishing for Bluegill for 55 yrs & it's my first love but if I had to use a manual reel , I would quit today !!!! Some of us enjoy Fly Fishing & some of us work at it .

@HaloRocks70 You can land a big carp with a fly rod too and lots of people do it intentionally. Anything you can catch on a spinning reel is more fun on a fly rod. Besides, fly rods are perfect for subtle presentations that you just can't duplicate with spinning gear nearly as effectively.

very nice video

[jstotesbury]

@SuperOlds88

Thanks

We had planned to make some more videos but Irene had a heart attack last year

& ended up having to have a heart transplant.

She is doing well now considering where she has been ! She is still not ready for the boat yet but we hope she will be ready by next spring.

Keep us in your prayers & look for another video real soon.

Thanks , Jerry Stotesbury (Irene's Husband )

[SuperOlds88]

@jstotesbury I hope Irene is getting stronger by the day. She must be itching to get that flyrod back in her hands. I hope she does it real soon. Have a wonderful day

[fishnkid1923]
