I can’t believe that, must’ve left ‘em behind the tire before leaving the house........

May 4Th, wasn’t sure all the brim fans had seen it. I’d love to hook it, on the Brim Buster LOL, probably break it.

6.4 lbs I think the article said. Lake Havasu. I’m going to AZ later this summer. I might have to try my luck.

And if you’ve never fished a Brim Buster I highly recommend. I don’t see them around PA much. I’ve a small wire “tube” thing for crickets. You telescope out the 15’ ish pole, unravel the right amount of line, loop the tiptop(no guides, no reel), then tie a tiny hook on and a cricket. I threw...

Hmmm, out of slots and my full size Pin doesn’t fit anyway. I also have a 6wt St Croix and Randy’s UL coming to find room for. The rod hoarding escalated pretty quick. Besides the “Brim Buster” cane pole they are all for trout/steelhead too. It’ll get worse once I try Striper and other fish I’m...

I resemble this comment, 4 kids and buddies, when I get to G-Kids there won’t be water left

Sweetest, and only niece’s first trout, 65 degree temps didn’t help, but we kept floaters,

she still caught a dozen “inferior” 18-20” ‘Bows, “Life is good today”

Funny story, my niece has never caught a fish. Took her out today, her mainline broke on a huge brown at “The Dock”

A-5, you are 100% right on the palomar knot. Only breaks I’ve had have been a couple times I knew the knot didn’t seat right and was lazy about a retye. I held a pretty fresh Erie Steelhead 30+ mins on 4lbs before I made the mistake of taking it into shallow water to try and land before it was...

Yep, I’ve been running STS but if you open a spool it’s only 2-3 layers deep. Guess they use a generic spool for it or something. I’ve some blue label now. I can see needing to buy a lot more spools at 25 yards though. I’ve been going through 3-5 spools of 4wt and 2 spools of 6 wt @ 100...

The guy sent me the 5wt 9’ St Croix Avid instead of the 6wt. To make it up to me he offered me the 6wt for $80 shipped. The 5wt looked brand new on the zipper tube. Less exciting, I had some 4-6wt Seaguar blue label come in. I’m loving the tippet sized rolls even if they cost more than STS and...

TS thanks for all the spots, we have nothing planned so I sent her links to each. I had a site in Lancaster I visited a few times before we closed it. I’m fairly positive she’s never been.

Not my dock, those are public waters LOL

They stock over 1000 and many many hit 26-27”, I just don’t get those ones myself lol. The pic a few weeks back of the enormously wide rainbow in the net was there too. Pretty skinny water for so many brutes but fun. My favorite creek is sort of a bust this year so I’m branching out.

A few fatties! The new creek has a hatchery in the park in town with quarter machines. Fish weigh about 2x what even the private dock fish do! Think the 22” range hit 6.5 lbs. 18” are around 3.5 lbs. Landed two, 21” and 18.5”, lost one, watched about a hundred in various spots. Pretty slow bite...

Might sneak a rod along in case I get rained in and stir crazy. I seem to be worse than the kids being unable to entertain myself.

I looked at Hammer and a few others too. I’m probably going to grudgingly agree with TS. I’m not sure I can part with a rod for 3.5 days but can look forward to the needed rain increasing flows when I’m back in the NE. Overstayed myself today and left a poorly seated knot on. About that time one...

Yep, we are heading camping with the three tiny terrors too. I couldn’t buy a drop a rain for 2 weeks now it’s coming

Going there for 3 days. Wife planned a camping trip. I argued I live in the woods, have the Glen, and have provisions for a large fire outside or inside should it rain. Even have a hammock by the fire pit. No dice, we are going. Sooo... I’ve not fished in almost 3 days. Where should I look...
