  1. Any shad coming up river yet? Would be targeting on foot with flyrod.
  2. I turned a 10 ft 6 wt nymph rod into a very nice single hand spey rod. Nice rod for the river when water level is up and wading out is difficult. I can stay close to bank and still cast 75 ft or so
  3. It's interesting the tactical bassin YouTube show did some underwater videos on small mouth attacking realistic crawfish soft plastics and most would attack at the claws trying to rip them off . Come back around and eat the lure when the think it was stunned
  4. Don't know about the trout but the small mouth on the Susquehanna in the fall really liked the olive peanut envy. Fish 20 inches were still taking the rear hook. so if I omitted it I would have missed alot of nice fish. I would keep it if the pattern calls for it
  5. Interesting I don't believe small mouth are even native to the river. But glad they got interduced somehow. Perfect environment for them
  6. Well above Harrisburg. There is some trophy designated water
  7. No I don't eat them. there on business anyway can't see bringing back to hotel
  8. I think when the cicadas hatch it might be epic. Yeah I would like to find a big carp spot.
  9. I have a new job based out of Chicago which I will be at several weeks this year for training. My territory will be northeast. Are there any ponds or lakes to fish from bank just north of Chicago. they are getting the 221 year cicada hatch this year in which 13 and 17 year cicada are hatching at same time. Looking for bass mainly.
  10. Not many have heard of wild water fishing they make various fly rods for less than 100 I have the 5 wt switch and its put together nicely. Talking with the owner recently later this year they will be coming out with an 8 and 10 wt rods. For less than 100 I will take a chance on the 10 and report back if it cast well.
  11. You should know about the reef in Fairfield ct just be careful to get off when the tide starts coming up. not much parking just for a few cars
  12. I don't know that line but there are some lines that have grippy texture just after the head section to aid in handling and casting. If this line has isolated bumps or imperfections then I would consider it poor quality. In your case not so much an issue. I would take the season and practice and fishing do some lawn casting. After a year or two you will want to upgrade anyway. By then your knowledge and skill will increase and you will know better what you want.
