Lake...is the difference that the water needs to be shallow for fly fishing?

For Fly Fishing Keith mentioned some good names...

For Lake Trout and a Spin Cast Set up... St. Croix ($100+) or Depending on how much you want to spend.... GLoomis (300+)

personally...

I'd go to Wal-Mart and get a 1 Piece 7' Browning Rod ($35+) and a 2500 Series Shimano Reel ($35+) This is a great combo.. You have to buy them seperately but well worth it... works for any type of fishing...

Thanks!!!

Thanks!!!

You can fly fish for anything, historically has been for trout, but now you can for bass, bone fish etc.

What part of the country do you live in?

She is an interloper in OK. Lives in the North/Northeast part of the state. Lake TenKiller and a number of other lakes are there.

I am not sure exactly what Trout might be fished for in that area. I do know, however, that if he goes East into MO, around the Blue Springs area, he can find some great trout fishing of the fly rod kind. Artificial baits only as I recall. Definitely cold water even in the summer. I did not have waders and for the first 45 minutes after I finished fishing I didn't think I had legs!

Some of the local ponds in that part of the state are ideal for fly fishing for bass, use a little popper or wolly bugger.

Randy (MBL) can say more about bait casting/spin casting for bass, he's the expert.

But if you want to look cool, feel cool and protray true manliness, FLY FISHING is the way to go!

I was unaware that it was cool looking, cool feeling and truly manly to have floating filament framing your flailing appendages as a popper, with its minuscule hook, is seated firmly in your backside!

If I might dive into carnality for a minute, you need to watch the movie,

A River Runs Throught It, the true story of Norman Maclean, a preacher's son who fly fished with his brother.

Made Fly Fishing look really cool! But actually you will catch more fish doing it to. Everytime I been in settings where I was up against bait casting, I have always caught more fish.

...interloper....!!!! I'm not sure I like that description....

The Pretty Water Lake stocks up with trout, so he usually fishes there...however, we do occasionally go up to Roaring River in MO.

The water is definitely ice cold year round...you should try falling INto it.
