Im looking at 1-2 trips and 0 spinners while using at least 1 swivel and usually 2. Only thing I notice changed is ambient and water temps. Always spool a few wraps and open bale to check for memory. If there’s any I flip spool on stand and try again. If I open bale and any jumps I won’t fish it...

All that said, I’m really wanting to try a Sage One 5-6wt 12’ Spey blank for a rod. Maybe 2, one Float and one spin. There’s another company Im talking to that has a perfect spec rod for less than I can buy components for unless blank is junk. 13 rods or something, it’s a 7’6” one piece with K...

I also burn through small soft shot fast. With such drastic changes run to run I’m constantly adjusting my shot pattern and placement. I probably cut or add 2-3 shot every run/hole or two.

Yeah I fish them hard and often. I like the light rods and I like length unlike most trout only guys. A-5 convinced me of that on spinning/float and my St Croix is my go to in general for bait. It’s an 8’ 5wt that’s held up to everything one could throw at it. The 10 lbs Donaldson Super Trout...

Saw the Vicious line but haven’t tried. Been eying FC Sniper TS likes so much. Pretty happy with Seaguar Gold and Blue though.

CoPolymer/Flouro coatings are all the rage but I’m not sold. Introducing added stress in the material, dissimilar materials, and different cothermal expansions are bad juju. I strongly suspect that’s why the PLine CoPoly was so unpredictable when exposed to 20 degree temps. By second or third...

Pline - Never Ever again Suffix Pro- Closely behind never again, might try braiding body hair first Leader - Blue Label 4-6 lbs. if I can’t find Gold Label, Gold Label 8-10 lbs. I’m really liking 4+6 lbs. Transoptic. Casts a mile, low/no memory, doesn’t get brittle or start knotting in cold...

I’m fixen to right now

Yep that’s the one

Or someone said all the words need to appear in a symmetrical square so remove the “Of”. Like saying “Anymore I blank” I dropped out of HS and don’t know an adjective from a pronoun but proper English please! Down south “I might could do that” from a Corp CEO!! Or Ohio it’s “This needs finished...

I know IPhone goofs up my grammar and I often miss it but this bugs me to no end. Most companies budget 10-100x more for marketing than even new equipment or Op Ex. How do you let this slip? It’s literally the back of the tag. The last thing the customer removes before wear and their last...

These showed too but 3rd style soles haven’t yet.

Small deliveries to restock. Added another tip to try on my quest for a homemade line. I suspect it’s not super critical to even have sink or hover tips how I use the line but I do like how it doesn’t sink on a hinge but sort of archs under log jams and brush. Wanted intermediate but airflo only...

I’ve one or two here somewhere. It was the place you had to buy like 100 of one thing to order. Name escaping me now. They did have net kits in single qty IIRC. Can’t wait to finish clearing other peoples crap from my office and build in bookshelves. I’ve books on 4 levels of house in totes...

Little schuykill does have a few neat sections with sharp bends that go from no water to “Don’t drown” depth fast. I’ve not fished it since my brother first moved here and was trekking around. Tamaqua is basically where my “Dock” is too.

You where 25 mins away and didn’t call, you where spitting distance to greatness and creeks still got plenty

My 7 yo princess is starting to take an interest after watching me organize the flies from SL. I showed her some pics of women casting gracefully and it’s taking hold. She first thought it was mean to trick the trout. I explained the fly isn’t real so no bait dies hoping that would win the...

Yeah I know I know, beautiful fly setups and I’m hucking shiners. Someday I’ll get learnt on the art and black magic of casting a fly that’s not under a pin float.

Butter worms and 3-4” shiners the last few trips. Creek is high pressure and lots of tactics are used. The hardcore guys that run pins in 0 water run eggs or sacks, there are a ton of fly guys, there are a ton of bait and spinner guys. Not many guys fish my technique using #1 hooks and shiners...

Bought an Amazon level sling pack but haven’t set it up yet. Open pack half price @ $35-40, convenient it’s smaller than I thought but fits my float containers so might be the perfect size.
