Hi, I'm only 14 and new to fly fishing. I am currently using a Shakespeare 5/6 weight and Martin reel but want to upgrade a little bit. I would like a 3 or 4 wt around 8ft and under $200. I would be using it to trout fish at montauk state park. If close by we could arrange something to meet. Just let me know if you have anything.

Still available?

Did the 3wt sell?

I wasn't gonna go out and look just for lunkers but if there is water where I know big fish are I was thinkin I could use it to cover water quickly.

Has anyone ever used an Orvis Clearwater? Thinking about buying one for my main rod and using my current as an extra as its only a Shakespeare 5wt 8' with a Martin 65 reel. I was thinking about getting a Clearwater 4wt outfit that is 8'6 with 4wt line. Also, would it be worth the $45 to get it customized? Any info appreciated.

What would you recommend for lunker size trout? #8 orange bunny leech work?

In my previous post I mentioned we will be camping down there in August. We will be there the 6th through 11th. I was going to fish the kids tourney but have read some older posts about bad experiences during tournament and was wondering if anyone thought it would be like that even in a kids tourney? If so I may not fish in it but rather below the park with my dad or the c&r because we both want to fish those areas. I would be fly fishing it.

Even if fly only are? Huh, didn't know that.

I'm also gonna try and fish below the park and in the catch and release area. Also, is it legal to dis with a dry them nymph under it? I was always taught that it was one hook on your line at a time.

Thanks, I totaled 6 last year on fly rod with a prince nymph and orange crackleback.

Hi, I'm new to fly fishing and need some help. Every year around the first of August my family and a couple others go camping at Montauk. We usually stay 3 days. I have always trout fished but just began fly fishing last August and haven't had much practice as we only go once a year (oh and opening day but that is with a normal open faced rod and reel). I was wondering what types and size of flies to use. We fish at the buzzer and throughout the day. We mostly catch and release unless someone wants some fish then we keep a couple. I am only 14 so my options are very limited on tying them ( I have a vise and tie a few different ones)and I don't get an allowance so I don't have much money to spend on them. I have a 5/6 weight rod that is 8 feet long and use a tapered leader then 7x tippet. My fly line floats. Any tips or other help also greatly appreciated.
