How do you unhook a fish from the saltwater on n a fly rod without dunking the rod?
i just got into fly fishing and caught my first red today but couldnt figure out how to get to the fish without candy caning the rod or dunking the reel, i dont want to do either and damage my gear. any help would be appreciated!
If Im wading in thigh deep water, with the 9 foot rod I cant reach it without over bending it and I dont wat to dunk the reel unless I have to
I know how you feel about dunking your fly-reel. I feel that way when I'm fishing with one of my Dads Lamson/Sage outfit's.
If I'm wading- After I grab the Tippet I usually stick the rod between my legs...(lol).
However, I'm sure you could rig some kind of velcro strap harness that fits around your waste and shoulder.
When I wade, I always take my Kelty jumbo-sized fanny pack looped around my shoulder and neck. When I'm moving from spot to spot I will stick the fly-rod between my F-pack and shoulder and then the Fighting-But (of the fly-rod) into my shorts, (in the crack of my @ss- lol).
Actually works fine for moving from spot to spot on a Flat.........
Cabelas makes a wading basket with rod holders for Flats fisherman. But after reading the reviews, I think you could "back-engineer" something better. Here it is- http://www.cabelas.com/p-0036759018468a.shtml#customer-product-reviews
Hope this helps ya? Good luck.
