Jet boats in side streams better be ducking from incoming rocks

Caught them on damsels too. Pike fishing is all about being delicate

Pike on dryflies....stonefly. A whole new game

Good points. Sorry for loss. Hopefully another buddy will join you soon

Some are not so ugly

2 anchors for bobber fishing is often a very good idea. Especially early season with cold water

Where did you buy your Parks licence Doug?

I sure hope the waterfowl can read....I wonder if they could be vectors?

Oh great BA, like I need those other obnoxious guys I fish with trying to get into my bucket. News from the sandy south sounded pretty awesome

It is true Don, I don't have the ears for a Hardy. It works well enough though. All my reels are essentially silent and that is what I am used to. Obviously I just don't know what I am missing. I think I will give it away to some person who is just learning this fun, new game

Well done Mr Fishpro. Did you get a good number of fish on your adventure?

Did Ressor winterkill over 2017/18?

Well I put about 50 fish to work with the old rod and reel this weekend. Had to slow the casting stroke down considerably, but it was pretty nice to fish. Fighting the fish was sure different, with the rod bending all the way down to the cork. Can't say the rod has bumped it's way into the line up, but I will use it occasionally. The reel sounds better about 10" under the water

Thanks for your insights Lornce. Rod is 9ft 7", no other identification on rod or cap. When I find more time maybe I'll look into putting some effort into restoration
