While most of you who know me know my feelings about fly fishing in salt water I do admire the likes of John Aplin and Nick Hart, use the banner links on this web page to see what I mean. \u00a0John runs a stunning fly fishery in the SW of England doing what it says on the tin getting trout to take an artificial \u00a0fly when they are eating natural flies as does Nick on his many lakes and ponds. \u00a0So why try to get a fish to try to eat an artificial\u00a0bait when I can reach over to my live well and put the reel thing on a much better rod and reel with a good drag and I think do a better job. How ever since we have been doing fishing holidays in the Florida Keys we have had one golden rule that is the angler makes the choice not the skipper and if he wants to fly fish then we fly fish. \u00a0Last week when young Ash from New Zealand found out we had fly rods in the rod room his eyes light up so game on and on the coolest day of Bills trip he was having a ball with our mackerel on the pure fly and I have to say he was chucking the fluff as good as I have seen on my boat.<\/p>\n
