Larry,
Love the show. It is a gas to watch you pull in those pigs...
Over the 4th of July, we are going for a week up in Canada to Lake of the Woods...goal is to land a Muskie on a fly. Been going for years and using spinning gear. My dad and I are just now getting into fly fishing as well.
Just bought a 9 ft. 4 piece Sage rod Launch 890-4, with a Teton Fly Reel (Tioga size #8). Should be darker water, maybe with a little green tint... on the mission to have an assortment of flys ready;
1) Any recommendations on fly colors? Light/dark, purple, red, black, 8-12 inches?
2) What kind of tippet and/or leader to use?
3) Any resources you recommend going to for knowledge prior? (been in the ear of my local fly rod store!)
Thanks for the help. Those Tarpons episodes rock.
