That thing is so fine. 
I've also seen the biggest alligator of my life right at that spot when I was in high school.

Thanks man! I saw a nice one yesterday pulling in there haha.

That's a very serious forward casting platform. Multiple levels. Lean bar. Big enough to be used as a small dance floor. I dig it.

I like to be able to see far and I fish solo a lot. The only time I've fished with the smaller platform was poling/trolling my dad around. I've just been keeping the dance floor up there. The lean bar was a last minute decision but I think it was a good one. I was up there for like 4 hours straight the other day and I was thankful for it.

I had lean bars on the front and back, people still fell off of both. If I had a trolling motor I probably would have gone the same route you did. Smart move.

Freshwater or Saltwater?
Saltwater. he place I wade out at can get pretty damn windy. Is it still possible to cast when really windy?

That's not expensive in the world of fly gear.

Hardest thing ive ever tried to do in life:
Thread an eyelet into the end of fly line. Did not succeed

Anybody been to Belize? We're heading to Eleuthera next month but trying to line up a fall trip now. I'm looking at El Pescador but I'm not really crazy about fishing with guides and I don't know how much DIY we could get done down there.

What's the standard backing length for an 8wt saltwater setup? I know you hardly ever get into it, but 100yds seems too little imo.
Posted on 4/11/16 at 6:59 pm to PapaPogey
Depends on the reel really. What type of backing does it call for with 100yds of backing?
Posted on 4/11/16 at 7:02 pm to bbvdd
From Allen's website
Is that max capacity or standard? I see some 100yd spools and some bigger.
eta: talking dacron only

You really don't need 30lb for an 8wt. Look for 20 lbs
Also Dacron is much thicker than spectra backing. You can probably get another 1/3rd more on the reel.

I got 30lbs for my 8wt solely because I use 20lb leaders often for redfish and would puke if I lost $100 worth of fly line. I don't know if that's flawed logic though.

The leader/Tippett would break before the backing would.
