for someone looking to get into F-n-F and has no idea what you all are talking about, could anyone possibly be able to bring it down a notch or two from over my head, so i may understand. haha. just a general information post would be appreciated, that is of course if it is for the general public of members on this board. anyways thanks.

thanks for the reply, the tackle and technique is something i completely understand. its just i haven't done it, and what was hoping for was a little bit more of an explanation about this get together... not the method of fishing. thanks again though. i beleive fishbum took care of that in a new thread anyways. but are these things open to anyone?

I would have the proper equipment by then, but i wouldn't have a boat, is there open spots in boats? what would you all suggest as far as that goes?

Normally there is someone who will help you out and the dock has some nice bass boats for rent.

By the time it gets here we'll have you hooked up. There's a couple of places close that I ususally go before we head to Dale to dust the cobwebs off "Green Teeth and Big Molly"(My F-n-F rods)..LOL!!!!
I ususally start at the 1st of November when the water temps fall down into the mid 50's. The creek temps go up and down so fast it gives you a few opportunities to catch some fish on the fly while the bigger lakes acclimate.

That sounds great Billy, consider me ready and waiting. Between now and then like i said i will be getting some equipment. I'm sure one of the reels that i already have that wouldn't use in the winter would be fine.. a 2500 shimao... loaded with 6lb mono? and im looking right now at a 9ft B&M f-n-f rod with the TN handle... or maybe the 8ft with the balnace system in the back... possibly a BPS rod? any suggestions on the rods would be appreciated.

[redneckshadrap]

B and M is junk......

[PatientlyWading24]

well i appreciate the warning on that then... what do you suggest, what does anyone suggest as far as the rod goes?

[redneckshadrap]

If you'll do a search on F-n-F on this site or www.floatandfly.com you'll have hours of reading.

I have 2 bps micro-lites 9ft and like them, but i haven't used any others. By the way they're cheap 30-40 bucks.
