Targeting the Hudge ones.
So the taimen trout thing peaked my interest in landing a monster on a fly.
I would love to go to the USSR and give it a try, but at $6000.00 + for a trip it is out of the question at this point.
I've always wanted to go tarpon fishing, something about hooking a fish that is a 100lbs or more makes my pants tight. But hooking a 100 Lbs worth of air to sea missile on a fly rod gets me wet.
The research began. Homosassa, Fl. "The best place to hook a tarpon on a fly", is less than a hour drive from my grandpa's place. He has the boat, 23ft boston w/a pole platform and casting platform, dual trolling motors, ect ect.
The plans are are coming together and I've been looking at a 10 to 13 weight salty set up... Even looking at getting a two handed set-up... Abel Standard Big Game and some sort of TFO blank. I think I'll end up with the ten weight so I can use it for Kings and the like back at home.
If all goes well I'll be poling around the Homosassa Flats, launching blue crab flies in to the depths of hell. June 2009.

So, who else goes after the hudge fackers on the fly?
