Carp Rod Deal
Is this fishing reel too big (500 yard capacity) for my purposes?
I recently purchased a Bluefin GC 5000 series reel from Costco on clearance for $50 ( http://www.costco.ca/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=10337705 ) as to buy it online it's $125-$155 so it seemed like a great deal. It holds 500 yards of 8lb test and seems very high quality. I wonder now if it's useful to me though since I don't own a boat. I want to start fishing again regularly and am comfortable having two or three rods and reels if they each have uses. So I will keep this if it will be more useful than a general purpose rod and reel in certain situations I might encounter (freshwater, without a boat).
So will this be useful at all to me fishing in freshwater? I figure it might be good for salmon fishing at a dam, maybe carp or catfish, or am I misjudging this? What should I use this for basically?
Sounds like a good reel to use for trolling deep fresh water situations and fishing saltwater party boats. You don't have to load 8lb test on it you could put anything from 8 to 20lb test depending on what you want to use it for, and the pole you match it up to.

Fly Fishing Is A Unique Experience
Fly-fishing is a form fishing that uses a different method of catching the species that live and breathe under water. The method is referred to as angling. This method is used to target mostly trout and salmon. Recently the target list has extended to fish like bass, pike and carp. Historically fly fishing an ancient method of catching fish that originated in Scotland and Northern Europe.
There are many and various types of flies being used in fly-fishing. In modern fishing methods there are various types of fish being used to catch the designated target. The following is a list of types of fish; dry flies and emergers (for example midges or stoneflies), nymphs (for example mayflies or eggs and worms), streamers wet flies (for example buggers and leeches), saltwater flies (for examples sailfish and marlin), bass and panfish flies (for example crawfish and eels), salmon and steelhead flies (for example Atlantic salmon flies).
Certain gear is needed when fly-fishing. The first item on the list is fly rods, in which size and usage is important. It is important to match the fly rod with the fly line according to weight. Matching the weight of the two items is important to have positive casting results. The size of the fly rods can be anywhere from #0, #1, #2 and are used for the lightest trout and panfish rods up to powerful and heavy #16 rods for the largest saltwater game fish.
Another item needed for fly-fishing is a bamboo split cane. This allows for a better performance in the freshwater trout fishing situations. Synthetic fly rods are usually used and offer a greater versatility, stiffness, power and performance than a bamboo split cane. The advantages are that they are less expensive and require less maintenance. Finally, fly reels are manually operated. Although in recent years, more advanced models have been developed to deal bigger fish and more demanding situations. These models increase the drag and retrieval performance.
Fly-fishing is an ancient method of catching fish. It is more demanding because you are limited to the types of fish you can catch. You need the appropriate gear to catch the trout or the salmon. Today's modern techniques used in fly-fishing have been developed to meet more challenging situations, such as bigger weight of the fish. These modern advancements prepare the fly fisherman to successfully meet his quota by using the methodology appropriately.
There are many popular locations for fly-fishing mostly in the Northern United States and Canada. Alaska is another popular place for the activity. Some places in the United States are Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Montana and California are just a few places.
