Well, against rdean's advice, but thanks anyway r, I've hired
a guide to take me and my wife kayaking in the bayou. I'm gonna
fish for redfish and she is along for the paddle. This is a
guided fishing trip, not just sightseeing, so I assume the guide
will put me in the vicinity of fish.
My question to roff, how does one go about catching a redfish
on a fly rod in a Louisiana bayou on April 30th ? The guide
recommends a 9wt., but floating, sink tip, full sink ? How
about flies ? I know absolutely nothing about fly fishing for
redfish. How about that, a virgin experience at my age. ;-)
I'm looking forward to it.
Big (3/0 - 5/0) Clousers, Assassins/Mickey Finns, Lefty's Deceivers,
etc. on a floater if you are going to _flyfish_ - IOW, you aren't
interested in using a fly rod as quasi-casting rod. And I didn't advice
against the fishing, only wasting money on a guide. And putting someone
on fish this time of the year, assuming the weather is cooperating _at
all_, is little more than saying, "Yo, boy, y'all see that there
water..."
