Thanks for the warm welcome and I'm glad to take on some more responsibility. Sharing is caring.
I have been flyswatting or "Lint Chucking" for quite a number of years now but the last 20 years or so, I have been closer to the ocean and continuing to "Match the Hatch".
Alot of what we do in the ocean requires a little bit heavier set up. #7, 8, 9 and 10 fly rods.
The Hatch??? Mostly Shrimp, Sand Crabs, Sand Worms and Sand fleas. But that's not all. Those are only the shallower water stuff for depths up to 60 feet.
There is also the advanced stage of Shrimp Flies that you use on a conventional or a (Sorry Flygoddess) Spinning rod.
I will get into some more depth in another post. Pictures will be included as to rigging and tackle.
While the Freshwater Flyswater persons are called "Lint Chuckers", the Saltwater version, if you havn't guessed already are called "Shrimp Flippers" "Shrimp Dippers" depending on the depth that you are fishing.[cool]
