I'm afraid I'm not very experienced at the swff, but this is what I've picked up over the last year. A stripping basket is essential otherwise it becomes very annoying. I only had a few sessions last year, but I've just acquired a 9# 9' rod, used a 7# last year, far too light for the sea. I use a Di3 for off the rocks and deeper water, and a slow intermediate for the surf. Seems to work well, I've been freshwater fly fishing for over 20yrs, and to be honest the transition isn't that hard. Still the same basic principles. It's something I'll be doing a lot of this year, for the few sessions I had last year, left me wanting more. The flies I have tied and shared on here, are based on simple observations and variations of commercial stuff I used last year. Enjoy!
