Gotta chase Don off my lake too it seems. Been a few weeks so I’ll get out there too

I only spent about 3-4 hours out in 2 weeks. I’m hoping the coming 1.5 weeks I do better. I’m headed to Chicago on the 19thish so gotta get my time in before then. Starting to get hot early this season....

Few more from a short trip or two

I generally drift down under those log jams. Leader and sink tip kind of need to be precise to form a downward curve to not get tangled. If you followed this long you might laugh but I pull 20-30 15-18” trout out of here most trips and some over 20”.

Too add to the challenges on this creek, in the pics I’m over a log with 15’ of straight bank I slid down behind me on a 2’x1’ flat spot and moving anywhere else spooks them. Most of the water is much faster and deeper than this too. I have to adjust constantly to water level and how...

I am getting to where I make anything work though lol. This was mostly by accident in that run. If you look downstream in the area pics you’ll see there’s two more runs in the trees in the background. It’s pretty unique water but it’s as close to heaven as I can get. Pure magic for a month or so...

Pics of what I’m fishing, it’s this, or short fast deep pockets surrounded by trees. I can really do well but I have to be super precise on how I setup my leaders or it’s a hassle. When it’s “On” I feel like a Super Hero. Most of the time it’s not and I lose precision or otherwise choke casting...

Failed.... got like length and leader dialed in, def didn’t dig the super slow action but the extra 12” was sweet. The problem was the Flat Taper floating line sank. I cut the xtra fast sink tip off to see if maybe that was “pulling” down the line and I used a longer flouro leader, still sank...

Got the flat taper strung on reel and added xtra fast sink tip. ? On how to smooth the transition. I could hear shrink but it’s sort of a bump. Could retie with a lighter line between then heat shrink. I’ve heard various adhesives, etc. I’m using a tight version of a loop to loop between them. I...

I’m a Flutter Flutter Flutter working each edge/direction of a pool/run, followed by flutter drift flutter, in deep/slow current I’m straight drift, Of course your asking about pure fly fishing which I know nothing of. Just today I was playing with varying setups while on a Corp call and...

Hahaha I’ve to remember that one

Yep, I wanted some but my normally flexible schedule has been pretty not-conducive to getting out. My favorite creek is getting fish in a few weeks and even though I get bigger everywhere else I love it there for a few weeks each year. Hopefully it’s not blown out but enough to make the fast...

Today was great in the evening but burnt to a crisp mentally and kids activities until now, looks like rains coming thankfully, give me 50 degrees and steady rain for the rest of my life lol.

One smallie, sun came out just before dark and waters low, people everywhere too, bummed I’ve got all the stuff setup and can’t get time or healthy to wade a creek In dying to, last night stupid insomnia until 4am then day started at 5am, I hit the wall at 6 pm unfortunately, crashing now...

Got rear brakes on, stupid PA rust already on the ‘18, did the ‘00 sienna brakes in an hour, fronts on the ‘18 I’ll let the shop do I guess, pins wouldn’t back out for me and hard lined calipers SMH, got kids out to kids spot about 35 mins too, they caught 3, best stocky wouldn’t hit a minnow so...

Haha, I almost went, I was sick all day Sat and got out an hour last night, only got a measly smallie though, I’ll get out with this rain though, it’s too perfect not too, schedules been crazy lately but opens a bit I hope

Mail call, bummer my “second law” book came in pretty mangled. I heard it’s a very beautifully illustrated simplified explanation of thermal dynamics. Found a copy but mailman was pretty harsh.

Awesome, I’m eyeing a glass blank or glass rod, I like 2 piece and my neighbor who I’ve copied said I really should have a 9’. Glass isn’t really an option in 9’. I just want a moderate or soft action to try. I have a soft spinning rod and it’s not quite the flex I want so moderate is more what...

Finally a free weekend to wade and down with the crud, slept all day yesterday, still getting going today and SUV needs brake pads to get inspected, I’m going to try and get going tonight
