I finally got a chance to test out my new Okuma Integrity 8/9 Weight Fly Reel. I bought it for my 8 weight Surf fishing set up to be my all around Saltwater reel. As always with Okuma I am extremely satisfied with all aspects of the reel. This large disk drag reel was extremely smooth and carried a ton of line, which is a lifesaver in the surf. The reel feels a little heavier in your hand than some of it’s competitors, but the solid design and superior drag system beat out the competition any day.  This reel is low maintenance as it does not require cork oiling and after a few times of  being dipped into sand infested water not even a grain made it into the internals of the reel.  For this kind of set up I would recommend buying  at least one backup spool as you will want one set up with a floating line and one with a sink tip or full sinking line. The solid design of this reel alot\ng with the affordable price make it great for Urban Fly Fishermen, as we are notorious for giving our fly equipment a beating. The reel come in 5/6, 7/8, 8/9. and 10/11 weight designs. Get yours today and get a fair priced reel that in my opinion blows the competition away!

The Gotcha Saltwater Fly is the classic Bonefish fly. It has accounted for thousands of Bonefish caught, no matter where they are found. I’m hoping to get in a little Bonefishing on my upcoming trip to Hawaii, and your had better believe that I’m going to have a nice selection of these in my box. This fly has also proven itself with other species. I have seen guys catch Rays, Halibut, Sole, and Croaker on them. Get yours at The Trout Spot, and let them know that UrbanFlyVentures.com sent you.

There has been so many times that I have gone Fly Fishing places where there are a bunch of bait fishermen lined up on the shore with there Powerbait and Worms not catching a single thing, while I’m on the other side of the lake with my fly rod pulling in fish. Then I go to put the fish back in the water, and I can here them groaning and saying things like “There Goes Dinner” and “What is he Doing”. Don’t get me wrong on a very rare occasion I will take a stocked fish, but 99% of the time it’s Catch and Release Only for me. If you do decide to take fish, please make sure that they are stocked fish  and only take what you will eat!
