    Done with the 8wt

    I love doing that with my spinning rod. But I’m starting to learn not to stick the rod tip in the air straight up and down I’ve missed a lot of musky doing this when they jump the hook/lure goes flying out their mouth. Learning how to bow to the fish. So most of the time my rod tip is pointing...

    Looks like pretty much every big game rod I look at had them on. Don’t think it would get much use musky fishing since your holding the line with the other hand playing tug of war but I could be wrong.

    Simple wets for panfish

    Looks good my simple one would be a San Juan worm.

    As expensive as I can get a good sale on them. If you know someone who builds them let me know. Anyone on the site want to do it let me know.

    Question why do you need a butt on a fly rod. Mine has one and I never use it. I can see two handed casts. Also they can be great for spin or centerpin but a fly rod that's fast action.

    Buzz Bait time!

    Anything that causes noise on the surface at night works great. I do good with walk the dog lures and poppers.

    Buzz Bait time!

    Kinda need open water for these. Weeds will slow or stop the blade from spinning and think that’s what gets them. No depth on them all topwater. That’s what makes them buzz.

    Done with the 8wt

    My 8wt gotta be a slow action. Don’t think that cuts it when I get the bigger ones on. My buddy had a 8wt and I saw how it held up to a 20lb salmon. So I’m guessing the action has a lot to do with it. As his was a thicker rod. Figure if I gotta get a new rod then I’m going bigger so I can really...

    Got the cast down pack but it’s the setting the hook then keeping them on.

    Done with the 8wt

    I think I’m moving on to a 10 to 12wt. My 8wt has no backbone to hook into those toothies. Any suggestions.

    The hot fly

    Don there’s all kinds of styles on casting. A smaller fly can take a pause on a back cast as a bigger fly make take two or three pauses. Also if you wanna throw a little bigger fly on smaller gear than learn a backcast that will work for you. Your fly dries out on a cast so instead of...

    Anyone fish the Allegheny reservoir?

    It’s a fun place to just visit. I don’t care for heights either so you won’t catch me out on that thing :) The old tornado path is still there but filling in pretty good.

    How difficult wrapping?

    When it looks that good every thing is difficult. I would say skills are needed.

    Glad I got some fishing in when I did the water is sure warming up quick with this hot sunny days. A lot of walleye still being caught in the shallows but they move to deeper waters soon. Some crazy weather it has been so far. Already starting to get to hot to fish.

    This is the time those trout nuts would say leave the trout alone but I say rescue those fish and take them home for the dinner plate.

    The hot fly

    With a current they will get waterlogged and sink quicker.
