OTOH, I know lots of dedicated fly guys that have recently started casting slug-gos and throwing eels at night. We are pretty lucky to have so many venues in this area.

That's what killed SW fly fishing a few years ago, I think. A lot of guys discovered just how hard it is to catch large on the fly.

To me large on the fly would be 20 or better, where convetional would be 30 or better. That being said if you target areas that lend themselves to the fly and present the right thing, like say a 14 inch eel punt, or 10 inch razzle dazzle it gets a little easier.
