The sight fishing has been incredible and seeing 18 inch trout come up and slowly inspect flies has made me a paranoid fly tier. In rivers fish only have a few seconds to decide to hit something. In these mountain lakes with 4-6ft of visibility the fish sometimes slowly circle my fly for 30 seconds before they decide to take it.Dec 9, 2023 · Dec 9, 2023. #1. It is easy—— loot!

Reaction score. 112. Location. On a trout stream/Suburban Pittsburgh. Apr 5, 2016. #6. 8'6 is an ideal rod length for the Driftless, especially if you only have one rod. You're in great shape. 8'6 #4 was my most used rod on the smaller streams but I'd fish a 9'0 on the larger water.On my 4th or 5th cast, I got a strike and it was fish on. An 8" Rainbow, which for this stream is a near-trophy (the typical fish there is 5-6" and more likely to be smaller than larger). So a great way to break in the new rod!

Welcome to the forum tiggbigms252 - Not sure what your budget may be, but for a glass creek rod I'd recommend the Epic 370 or 476. I fish the Epic 476 and love it.

Apr 19, 2023 · Apr 19, 2023. #1. I live in Florida (These days) but I want to go up to the Nantahala and camp along the river and fly fish by wading. There are several camp grounds and I am reading that some areas have no access, it is private property. As I said, the area has to be shallow enough to wade but still have room to cast, and an area with some trout. One of Gary Borger's favorite easy to tie patterns are collared leeches. When a fly is stripped, the fly creates a pulse or sound wave as the fly pushing the water aside and forward. A muddler minnow or fly with a "collar' such as a collared leech creates a larger "bow wave" as it is retrieved.Jul 18, 2020 · The contact II , at least in the 10 ft 2wt must be a much more comfortable rod to fish: the contact 10ft 2inch 2 wt weighed 2.93 which balanced with a 6.7 oz reel for a total weight of 9.63. the contact II 10ft 2 wt weighs 2.96 which balances with a 4,23 oz reel for a total wt of 7.19 oz. the contact II is also slightly faster (AA 67 vs63) I ...
