chess 0 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Try going after pollack on the fly, a decent sized one will put up a terrific scrap, far better than any trout of an equivilent size. Had them upto 6lb and boy do you know about it Quote Link to post
fishfish 17 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 try a fry imitation streamer fly. Quote Link to post

Had them upto 6lb and boy do you know about it chess has the right idea, go after pollack they are great sport no matter how you go after them. A 6lb pollack on a fly rod must of put up hell of a fight! Quote Link to post
