Thanks guys appreciate it!

Looking to get into some catfishing. I have no idea what to use for bait or where to go can anyone make some suggestions? Im in southwestern Ontario and dont mind driving for some decent catfishing.

Awesome! I remember when I was younger I was fishing with my grandfather and we weren't catching anything. A young boy came over and asked if he could borrow a lure from my grandfather. He said why not tossed him a random lure (wasnt the nicest piece of tackle either). Kid tosses this thing out...

Congrats to him, I gave steels a go last year but no luck. I landed two bass last season on fly was an awesome experience but a bigger more challenging fish would be an accomplishment!

Thats what I was thinking okay the visual helped a ton! Thanks so much! Its a tough sport to learn on your own haha

would this be as the fly is parallel to you but perpendicular to the stream?

Ill have to look it up and see how to do it!

I agree, I hate watching fishing on youtube or tv and seeing fish handled very poorly. Also a very good article!

What do you mean by mend? take in the slack??

haha, nice! Whatever gets you out on the water! I have a 6wt I love, I just lack a sense of direction in terms of learning. Little things like after you cast do you let the fly drift down stream or the order of line setup (ie. dacron, fly line, leader, tippet etc.) always get me.

What were you learning on?

All great info I will take into consideration!

What would you say is the best price point for quality, preformance, durability etc without breaking the bank.

Looks like Ill be spending some money in the near future! Any suggestions on a good baitcasting setup?

Walleye on fly, interesting that would be tricking, I would think. Probably just practicing for bass, its fairly easy. Once I get better Id love to give some steelhead or trout a go, maybe even pike.

Looking to buy a bait caster and was wondering is it a viable option for fishing pike? I know they are mainly for bass and dont think I've heard of anyone using it for pike? What do you guys think? Or even better what other species would a baitcaster be a good option for? Cheers.

Forsure I will! @roughsquare What would you wanna go after? Awesome info everyone mend, mend, mend!

Thanks everyone! Looks like the roll cast is the go to!

I was fishing the Thames last summer for bass to get some practice in. Usually fairly slow moving water. The roll seems like a solid option or the double haul?

If you can find a way to cool it, it works great!
