Well guys, the wife got me a 10wt. reel for my b-day to put on the 10wt. Lamiglass rod I bought 3 yrs. ago. Need to spool it up! any suggestions.
Fly patterns? I sent GottaflyLee a pm with the same ? i figured he would be in the know for stripers etc. A new frontier for this old spinning rod Capt.
thanks for the help all!

Good luck. Fly fishing in the salt isn't that hard. You have a good rod and reel to get started. You will get plenty help. If you can catch on a spinning rod you will be able to do it with the fly rod. Take your time, keep your fly selections simple at first and just do it. Good Luck.
