Re: [VFB] Trolling flies

[Ronan MacLoughlin]

Thanks to everybody for their replies!

 

Ive gleened a few patterns from the emails that Ill try and tie up when I get the chance. College is keeping me so busy, I havent tied a fly since June! My god, June! AAAAAH!

 

I typically use a slow sinking intermediate fly line on my 8wt flyrod. Id never be trolling so fast that I would have it bent in 2. I would use the fly rod before a spinning rod any day, purely for the fun factor.

 

Keep the emails rolling in! Im sure that there are a few more gems of information to be got from the group!

 

Beir Bua!

 

Ronan.

Well now folks. A little change in scope for you.

 

Id like to know if anyone of you go trolling flies for trout on the lakes? And by trolling I mean out in your boat with the outboard(Oars) and just spinning up and down your favourite haunts with the flies (30-40) yards out behind!? The very same as trolling small rapala's et cetera for trout early and late in the season.

 

If so, Id love to see................

 

1. What your best flies are

2. Any techniques you use when trolling? i.e do you drive in a S shape, do you weight your flies, do you combine with a bait such as a tasmanian devil!?

3. Anything else that you would like to mention!

 

This is a big thing on the Irish lakes and each year, before the duckfly (Chironomids) and after the early Olives (Mayflies) you will see most practicing it.

 

Looking foward to hearing from you!

 

Ronan.
