when salt water fly fishing for blue fish, how do i attach the steel leader? ?
I’m assuming that a steel leader must be attached, as in regular fishing(baitcaster, ect.), but im not completely postive. As I’m sure you can tell, I am new at salt water fly fishing.
I want to basically fly fish for blues and stripers while walking down the beach…casting lures with my penn spin reel has caused too much problems since the lures are light wieghted.
Also, if you can suggest types of line to use….and if buying a small gaff for retrieving the caught fish would be a good idea or not. ( I’m leaning towards yes on the gaff)
thanks in advance.
I am not a salt water fisherman, but I have seen references to two different techiques to attach steel leaders to a fly leader for pike/muskies: 1) direct tie using an an albright knot 2) use a tippet ring and a tyger knot (looks a lot like a two turn clinch knot) to attach the steel to the ring. I have no personal experience with either technique, but it might be a place to start looking.
