Fly fishing reels for trolling?

Just wondering,

Since fly reels are pretty much the same as mooching reels, are they capable of being used for trolling for salmon? I'm thinking fly reels such as Sage, Nautilus etc. Thanks!

My family uses fly rods and reels for trolling every day on Moosehead Lake in Maine. You can use either floating line for the salmon on top, or lead-line for those a little deeper. Nail a nice one with your line out as far as the filler line, and hold on for one of the most fun-filled retrieves you can get!

Are you thinking of planning a fishing vacation? For the uninitiated, fly fishing is an 'old as the hills' fishing method traditionally used to catch trout and salmon. Although nowadays folks plan a fly fishing vacation to catch several other species, including bass and span fish as well as the big salt water game, such as marlin. Even sharks have been known to get hooked using the traditional fly fishing method. So, when planning for an enjoyable fishing vacation it is important to consider your options thoroughly, first and foremost!

Destination

This is an important part of the decision because it dictates technique as well as the equipment you will need to take along on your vacation. Do some homework on the destination. Find out if the water is fresh or salty - open ocean or river or lake. Before you hand over your money, make sure it has been clarified exactly what you are getting for it. There are plenty of great lodges and resorts available. It is even possible to charter a boat to dramatically boost your odds of success.

Equipment

There is quite a bit of specialized equipment needed. Of course, as you would expect, there's the fly fishing rod! Do not just consider the price of the rod. When buying a rod, the length and the weight differs depending on the territory. When fishing in deeper waters, such as the lakes and oceans, a longer and heavier rod is recommended.

The second item you 'must have' is a sturdy reel, which is used to hold the fly line. Like the rods, prices and uses will vary.

Finally, do not forget waders or wading boots because the world will be a much colder place without them, that's for sure! Waders also provide protection from slipping.

Techniques

The techniques for fly fishing will differ depending on whether the sport is being conducted in a lake, stream or a river. In general, however, fish will be found in areas where there is protection from predators, a good source of food and a slow moving current.

Many of the vendors for the various types of fishing destination spots also provide guides to augment your experience with theirs. Guided tours are frequently offered, although expect them be a little more expensive. Even so, especially for beginners, it is advisable to at least consider the option. Along with some good planning, it invariably will ensure full enjoyment of your fly fishing vacation.
