Always research the local fishing regulations of your destination before you pack
When using a fly or crappie pole you will tie the line to the furthest ring of the rod leaving between one and five feet of fixed line
This is a similar rate of line pickup to something in the high sevens or low eights in an average sized low profile baitcasting reel
Similar to streamer fishing on the Futa, Marce directed us to cast as far as possible, quartering downwind and allowing the line and flies to sink, this time for 15- to 20-seconds
These tiny fish school and migrate out of the shallows becoming a roaming bait ball
