Muddler4, Thanks for the information. I am still a rookie fly flipper. Most of the redfish I caught were at 30 ft or less. I have a camp in Texas that allowed me to spend a lot of time stalking shallow flats. Also the mouths of fall outs from the back lakes. When bait is streaming out from the back lakes I have seen the fallouts turn red there were so many fish. I have a very good friend who does nothing but fly fish who was with me for some of those epic trips. He would just look at me and tell me this is just not right you fish this and think nothing of it. People fish all their lives to get in this situation and you think nothing of it. We have stood side by side on more than one occasion catching reds until we got bored and left. I do plan on keeping my 8wt for the trips back to Texas. Thanks for the info.

Thanks Enchanter will look at better quality reels such as Orvis. May current rods are Sages just do not want to spend that much money because in 4-5 years I hope to be back on the Gulf Coast using them.

Moved back from the Texas Gulf coast where I flyfished for redfish. Do not think my 9' 8wt will work for the trout. Need help I know 1 rod will not do it all but where do I start 5wt or 6wt and how long. No looking for the most expensive equipment nor bottom end equipment. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Just moved back to St. Louis after being gone 35yrs. fFly fished in the saltwater and know nothing about fly fishing for trout. What sould be some fly set ups to catch the city trout. Thanks for any help in advance.

I finally made it to the white river. Staying at a lodge just below the state park. It has been a long time what size hooks and what kind of bait do I need to catch the rainbows. I have spinning reels with 4lb test. Thank you for your help. Texas Dave
