A bit different approach...

Big rod, big flies, many casts, but sometimes it happens.

A nondescript rockpile between Rochester and Niagara...  .   Just enough to cast into 4-5' of water.

Great photos and it looks as though you may have saved him from a lamprey (mark right behind his left pectoral)

I always wanted to take fly rods on the boat and drift or anchor when we hit a pod trolling shallow water. We've often talked about it but you're doing it!

Yeah, mostly all I fish these days.

 

Set up is a vintage Orvis 9' #9  Fullflex paired with a big old British made Madison.  I have it lined with a RIO outbound short with a clear intermediate tip.  I can really punch BIG flies out there and originally put this combo together for pike/musky.
