I will be meeting up with Macfly in a couple of weeks. He has asked in the past about Bass flies. His inquiries led to the type and style of flies that I use in the ocean.
I was invited into this forum because there was a realization that there is another side of Fly Fishing, which is in Salt Water.
I have only been fly fishing saltwater for 18 yrs out of the 40 total that I have been fishing.
My flies are not ties on #32hooks like Flygoddess does. I use hooks that are from #1 on up. The longer shank hooks are the ones that I use for my Clousers.
The saltwater clouser uses a heafty lead under rap as a base. The other thread starts on top of that. Then the weighted eyes are added. Then the hair.
I never mentioned that the sinking line was heavier. I only said that it will get to the zone quicker. By no means is it noticibly heavier.
We do have some newer Australian FF members on the site. They too are fishing the Salt. It is a very enjoyable experience.
I am in the process of writing up many of my Saltwater Fly recipes to submit on the forum. Once they are there, feel free to scrutinize and criticize as you wish.
Until then, please enjoy the ride. Keep all hands and feet inside the vehicle until it comes to a full and complete stop.[cool]
I will have complete recipes and photos. I am also working on gettng a video of some of the cast styles made so that all can see.[

We will all maintain peace and respect. That is why we are here, to learn from each other. I have always respected other peoples styles and concepts.
Peace bro.[cool]
