Nice man!
I need to get out fishing ASAP. I'm going this weekend. I'll get some pics of some cool fish. It's cool to see you using a fly rod. I'd like to get into that at some point.

Ya I love fly fishing. Haven't even touched my spin rod in a couple years. I try to get my fly rod in every fishing pic I take

Do you find it more effective for trout fishing?

On the river, yes. On the lake, no unless you have a boat.
You don't use weights with fly rods. All the weight is supplied by the fly line which is the orange material. Tied to the end of the fly line is a tapered leader made of flurocarbon, and attatched to that is a thin piece of line called a tippet which is what you tie your fly to. All the weight required to get the fly out there is supplied by the fly line as you swing the rod to and from.
You really can't cast quite far enough into a lake to catch big fish, although that isn't to say that it can't be done if there are fish next to the shore or you're on a boat.
Fly fishing is awesome, especially with dry flies, cause the fish have to breach the water to get them and a really aggressive strike looks pretty fucking beautiful

That's awesome man. A friend of mine bought this flotation device for the lake that I think might work for fly fishing. It's like a tube that you can sit in, and you wear flippers and you just paddle yourself out. I bet you could get to some good spots in that. Maybe even a canoe would work.
