Start time is 2:00pm and we plan to tie until about 4:00pm held at

Poling techniques

dlemke2012 5 Comments

This is a first posting in the new How-To category on the Texas FlyFishers website.  During the recent Redfish Rodeo 2016, there was some discussion about organizing some poling education during a popular saltwater outing or event.  That will take a bit of planning, but in the interim, a few folks shared some links that might be useful to those of you who are curious.

The first is a posting from the Saltwater Sportsman written by local guide Scott Sommerlatte called “Poling Basics”

The second is a YouTube video by guide Capt Joe Gonzalez called  “Fundamentals of Poling a Skiff“.
