saltwater fly fishing

to a trout fisherman, saltwater fly fishing is polar opposite. strip set instead of lifting the rod. bumping a fly to get an eat instead of letting it sit. putting the hammer to the fish instead of worrying about 6x tippet. not to mention the casting.   my dear friend Alan Farris came down to the everglades to try his first attempt at salt. we'd fished together out west, but nothing like this. after breaking off a 10 pound redfish on the first morning of the first day, fishing was looking great and then the weather and learning curve set in, rain and 30 mph wind. each day, Alan figured out one or two big saltwater concepts, improving a 30ft cast to a 60ft cast. on day 4, he was a hell of a saltwater flyfisherman. 5 nice reds to the boat and at least 15 eats in some of the worst weather i have seen down here. great job, Alan!
