Fly fishermen

[WestFork]

Bob,
With that outfit you can land anything that can't break you off from the drag of the line in the water. My friend here who has a fly fishing shop and fishes a BFK in SW says you've made a good choice, both for rod and reel.
The BFK has a fast action so the rod bends closer to the tip than softer actions. That means the fish will have a longer lever arm to work with while you're trying to put the hurt on it.
If it doesn't spool you or take out so much line the leader gives from it pulling the line through the water, you can take most of what you can get a fly in front of. Good fishing!

Should be able to handle almost anything. I used to use rio lines but now prefer airflo. Maybe the tarpon line since they are designed for big fish and warm water... http://airflousa.com/project/tarpon/

That hatch reel is all you need great drag system!!...don't forget that hatch makes fly fishing lines .the problem with lines is that you need a special line for every style of fishing you are doing .. I get all my lines made at bob mariotts fly fishing store I use a 200grain 350 grain 450grain and a 900grain plus salt water floating lines .try to buy SAGE RODS they never let me down!!!my goal is to start welding my own fly fishing lines by this fall...
