Thread: Fly advice for a beginner

Not sure Peter have only just started getting into it so maily just fishing pools in the Rakaia but want to get out and fish some smaller water which is generally better on the fly. Seen some prettt impressive videos of giys taking kingfish and even marlin on flyrods though so dont let that stop you!
Watched a guy taking kahawai on smelt pattern flies at the rakaia mouth a while ago, looked like a tonne of fun they reckon that pound for pound kahawai are one of the hardest fighting fish in the ocean and flyrod made it one of those "most fun you can have with your pants on" activities have got myself a 7 weight setup and smelt flies to give it a go just haven't got round to it yet
