Thanks! :gr_cheers:

Floating lines and tippets set up for fishing wide open flats. The 8 will get most most of the work. The 10 will be worked when the BIG reds show up or you get into some decent tarpon. I'd say 12# tippets and 20# shock for reds.

Go see The Fly Fisherman right in downtown Titusville. It is a top notch fly shop and they sell kayaks there too.

You might also want to check out Orlando Outfitters (www.orlandooutfitters.com) Tim, TJ and Chris B. can dial you in big time. I hate to say it, but having grown up over there, I don't get to do too much local fishing anymore – I am always going someplace else for the magazine... :)

The Fly Fisherman, right on the highway, near the water. They're great folks! And..REGARDLESS of what some folks say...there's NOT A REASON ON THE PLANET TO GO TO ORLANDO. (Sorry--didn't mean to yell.)
