Last weekend I bought a six pack Castle  :beer: at Spar Tops liquor store and entered a competition to win a fly rod and reel combo. I got a call from the manager to inform me I won! It is a basic setup, Explorer 904-5/6wt rod with a 4/5wt reel,  but I am going to play with it and will target small Leeries, Mullet and Grunter as well as Bass and Carp on my Brother's farm.  :yipee:

Some TA will be in order here! Fly jacket, flies, tippets, leaders, line nippers, zinger, forceps, etc etc - ...then when you catch the bug, you going to want to upgrade to a more serious rod and reel and lines...more TA

Thanks WK, I certainly will. What I look forward to is to take the canoe and paddle to sand banks that the shore angling guys normally can't reach and fish from there.
