Fly Rod Fighting Strategies - Part II: Fishing From Boats

This issue: In Part I, FRED STEYNBERG discussed fighting fresh water species using lighter rods with light tippets that generally enable small and imitative flies to be presented delicately. In Part II, he focusses on heavier rods and terminal tackle for casting larger flies to bigger and more aggressive species.
