Thank you for the replies and pm's. I used my fly rod to drag a bugger up at Strawberry (I know, that's cheating [
]) but I bagged a couple nice cutts and learned the importance of backing. I was afraid I was going to break the line so I might have given to much slack but man do they fight on a fly rod! I got two on the boat but when I lost three in a row I broke out the trusty baitcaster with a tube.
Without sounding too desperate is there somebody in the SLC area that can teach me how to cast a fly line? I was sight fishing (catching) cutts that were hitting spiders on the surface with tubes and cranks but I just can't get the casting thing with the fly rod, it could have been a stellar day if I could just fling that damn fly without it coiling up 10' in front of me...I don't ask for help for often so go easy on me [blush].
