I am hoping to do a lot more fly fishing from the boat next year. As insane as it might be I might even try my luck at fly fishing blackmouth. Nick Claytons website was a good place to do some reading on the subject. I am considering picking up a type 7, as I am often finding coho in central puget sound are deep down, between 50-80 feet, which is tough to get down to. But I am open to hearing other thoughts
