I’m going out if my flight gets back. Marion rescheduled their egg hunt for the kids to sat so it won’t be all day. I found a real nice creek but I hear it’s one that draws crowds far and wide. Luckily I found a few secluded access points below Francis Walter too that many wouldn’t fish with...

I saw what I think was the brand you posted and a few Japanese ones. My Bro eats the stuff so I get to try out a lot. I couldn’t find straight no taper fly line anywhere but I’m hours from good trout fishing. Cinch river is 4.5 hours away or Id have tried it on this trip. Incredible browns come...

TS I’ve not but BP today had a ton of line. Mostly bigger for sturgeon/paddlefish but a few aisle of Crappie as well. Orvis didn’t have the split shot removal pliers and neither did BP. I just bought a pair and I think my Bro had them in the Umpqua waist pack I bought him. It got left somewhere...

It gets worse too, I hunt, shoot, and have a bouldering/climbing cave in my house so not just one hobby Lol. Oh I also somehow collect tools including some pretty odd stuff. If you look at my office pics my desk is actually a large ESD Cisco work station for circuit board repairs. I’ve a solder...

Im in a hotel in TN/MS but have no fear, I scored 2 Umpqua chest packs hardly used shipping to the house as well Lol. I could use a money tree. I have 4 kids, 2 in private school, and my wife works part time but it costs me money I think with daycare. I’m just a bit of a nut that’s all.

My order from All Seasons that included a cover for the Pin reel was canceled by them. This cover is supposedly for a huge spinning reel but looks perfect and was clearanced for $5.

Already have 4-5 new lines to try with the PLine and Suffix Pro I bought last night added to what’s in PA. The Suffix Advanced Co-Polymer was 20% off through today so it found its way to the cart, lol. I was just thinking I had too many partial spools from last year.

Too much, especially flying but I had Academy, BassPro, and Orvis all within 15 mins and some open time. Found my Bro a real light net exactly like I’ve scoured the ‘net for too. He lost my other wooden one so he’s not getting my long handled new one.

Heck just saw they caught bull sharks in Mississippi River as far north as IL. That’s settled, I’m never swimming anywhere again.....

Their micro gear was not my idea of micro

Small hoard from Academy in TN. Probably give the airport fits. Jig heads, few scents I’ve not seen around PA, a few CoPolymer main lines to try. They had a ton of much bigger gear for Sturgeon and apparently Bull Sharks that come up the river. Whole slew of unique bass gear including 2 aisles...

I’ve to figure them all out. Had neighbors picking 3 varieties in my yard. Another shared one that was pretty awesome. I’ve no clue what I’m looking at though. Only picked shrooms at the market.... well this one time at a concert.... J/K, there’s always “That Guy” on threads about mushrooms...

Thx TS, it was a very nice facility. Unfortunately it was down for a scheduled pm so I missed seeing the tech. No idea where it’ll go but strongly believe there will be some insurmountable areas we won’t resolve. Even managed to look at local area. I can’t fly back a day early without paying...

Flying into Detroit I’m wondering how the fishing is today in steelhead alley, LoL. Probably a lot wrong with me. Huge decision/meeting pending and I just want to fish.

I’ll let y’all know what flying is like if like me you’ve not flown since this all started.

Flying to Memphis for an unsolicited interview at a Tech Start-Up. I’ve been in big Corp 4.5 years. Either way my current role is 80+% travel and with vaccines getting around I’ll be a Road Warrior again soon. Enjoying PA and it’ll have to be a strong offer. I’ve heard a few stock options...

Just got second order in, all back together again

For trout I’ve tried down to 2lbs and think I’ll run with 6 lbs and 4lbs STS Leader from now one. I fish real fast log jammy creeks and largish trout so while breaks on fish are getting rare as my knots and technique improve a few thousand trout in I think the margin on heavy fish in murky water...

Picked up some new line to try on the Daiwa reel that just came back from repair. Copolymer and weird translucent brown/yellow tint that changes color under water. I spooled it but haven’t tried it yet. I’m not super thrilled with the Suffix Ghost Braid though it was $35 for a small spool. I had...

I was thinking the ‘Bow my Bro hooked the kids didn’t get over in time to land was real thick and might scare 19-20”. I’m usually close on river/creek trout, within a 1/2”. The real heavy ones sometimes throw me a little. He immediately commented it was real heavy for 16”. He waited for the kids...
