Afternoon Fly Fishing Adventure: Chasing Gar in Kentucky

What did you use to catch him? I’ve heard of the nylon braided rope, but that’s about it.

@Nick simple bucktail tie on a short shank hook. I run a treble hook trailer on wire off the back. The goal is hook them on the outside of the mouth when they strike the fly. More times than not the treble doesnt actually penetrate the hard mouth, but as long as you keep pressure you can get them in. Hook usually pops out when they are in the net.

@Nick ive used rope and it works, but such a mess and pain in the ass.

Nice job congratulations 💪💪
