I tried spending some, deals didn’t show or I missed I guess. Would love a 6wt spey ONE blank in 12’ range to build a pin rod on. Would love a St Croix Wild river Light or UL spinning rod or similar in 10’6” or 10’ range. Weird stuff no one lists online often.

I can double post lol

Nope not yet, I’m still testing through the dozen or so premium lines I bought. No clear winner yet. I did avoid braids even high end ones on the last re-spool knowing I was going into winter. Just had Booster and flu vax with bad cold. It’s a 5th grade science fair in there at the moment. If I...

Nice to be in only a hoodie going into December too. I’d think it would be colder on the open water. I’ve only had 1 Striper in my life. 48” was the MA minimum I think then. Grilled it was good. I’m with you on Mahi/Tuna though TS. I thought Tuna was king until I had Mahi. Should try and get a...

I also thought of A-5 this week

I thought about Bear but resigned that my earlier gaffs would leave tag unfilled. Def less pressure on creek this weekend. I suspect Rifle Opener was the culprit but not a lot of orange out there or trucks parked roadside anywhere.

Wild brown looks pretty spawned out for his length. He probably fought harder than most of his much larger stocked brethren. Folded my rod in half at one point. Love those wild browns for their fighting spirit.

Caught a few more missed a few, couldn’t hit the new stretch I found loaded up. Had to see my Mom off after lunch yesterday so trip cut short. Did see another club guy out in snow and he had beelined to a favorite spot I had planned. I stopped to look at a new stretch quick at sunrise and he had...

Missed a few brutes including one who I didn’t expect and caught me in a poor knot,,,,, again,,,,,, been super careful to check leaders constantly, recut knots I didn’t like, etc. Did a hasty cinch on a swivel rather than replace leader and it popped on a 26”er I wasn’t expecting, 🤦‍♂️

Getting bigger up there! Send a 20 lber pic next.

For hunting KUIU/Sitka/Firstlight, they make some waterproof stuff too. For fishing I just use synthetic layer maybe, merino or fleece long Johns, fleece sweater, and a decent hat. Gloves I wear a pair of latex surgical gloves and if it’s real cold a pair of fingerless rag wool gloves over them...

Some trout arent bad to eat now

Fish in pics 1,2,3 all dwarf the 7-8 lbs in pic 4 that looks huge but they look tiny to me.

To show how far out the pics look, the first and last pic, side and belly of the same fish, tiger was over 7 lbs. someday I’ll get better pics.

For reference straight line my net is 21”ish, basket is 16” I think but stretches a lot. Heavy fish look tiny sagging down so far. Haven’t figured out how to get good pics showing true scale yet.

Got again today, 7 lbs tiger, bunch of Loops and Donaldson strain, few fat browns. Biggest over 10 lbs. average weight 6.5 if I throw the 2 14” fat native browns in. Good day, head cold wearing me down being in cold temps/water from 5am-5pm every day. Few days off to go to In-Laws ‘yeah,,,,,’...

Not NY, small NE PA creek,

She’s two years old, 3 year olds are already hitting 15 lbs. they get stocked in spring.
