I am a long time gear fishermen when it comes to salmon and steelhead but have been fly fishing trout since I was a kid. I do a lot of fishing on the OP and really want to get into some wild steel with a fly rod. I have a 8 wt Lamiglas rod with okuma reel but that is the toughest rod I own. Is that enough? Being raised on dry flies I have picked up dead drifting with a nymph and strike indicator for trout and would prefer to start out using that method. Any advice on flys would be great. Thanks
