I just count the fish I want to post then post that many lol. I’ve probably posted a duplicate at one time or another somewhere. I’m streamlined now just upload in batches of 6 which matches two rows in my album. Of course you might need more fish for that to work..... just saying
Trout Derby 2021
- Thread starter A-5
- Start date
Been slacking myself this week being run down and now Covid vax. Missing a few opportunities at 25” + fish in spots but I’m usually 100 mph type of person so for once trying to be smarter health wise. All the injuries are aching too. If my bionic leg starts limping again I’ll go see a Dr. tough to say because side effects of vax are aches, rundown, chills, whatever.
Hoping I recover enough to go north Sat./Sun. then travel next week again, CT this time.

Looks like it doesn't it? No those are just the fish I kept to give to my old friend who likes trout but doesn't get around anymore so the pics are on a counter next to a sink.

So can I be forgiven for dumb statements. I said you only need the Clinch Knot and that the Improved isn't necessary. Well Once last week and twice today I had a hook part from my line when hit and thrashed by Pickerel teeth. it seems that they grate the knot and loosen it much like I often do with my thumb nail to remove a hook. So sorry to have questioned you in front of your

Lol. Don I’ve done stress test on line and knots. When you fish the way we do you need thin small tough line. I’m a dork. But I can say smaller line benefits from the palomar knot and improved. 8lb and above the snell is king. There is a secret the snell gives you many or most don’t even realize. Go properly snell a hook. A sharp hook. Run the line across a finger slowly. The hook actually drops and hooks the fish. Try it.

Not very scientific Cheif. Glad you didn't make my Corona Vaccine. It gets the point across though.
Hey that reminds me. You guys always listen to bad music so I thought I'd write a few bars for your trip:
"
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go, I'm standing here outside the door, Already I'm so Awesome I could cry
"

Go get'em. bring me one to smoke.

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 my son wanted a bubblegum worm and he clobbered it for him.
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 finally I hope, losing Sat to crud vs weeks like everyone else in the house could’ve been worse
