This. Missed my only opportunity Sunday as a nice fish hit mine the second it landed and I still had some slack. Was hoping the hook was sharp enough after filing it. Nah.

Finnish apparently! I've found a couple of shops in Canada that carry them.

I ran into a 10' foot version of the "hero" when I was on a Pike trip overseas and liked it quite a bit, though the 9' footer agreed with me more. Has anyone here used them and have opinions to share? I'm conscious that I'm probably susceptible to the "story" and branding, but am considering the...

And steeeep banks in many spots. Definitely have had a few close calls scrambling out.

Purple hazes and general attractor patterns should crush in September once nights get cool. Drop something small off the back and enjoy. Also, how "upper"? If you're talking paved road still above Avery, then I'd go with a 5 wt. I haven't gone much further than where it hits dirt, so can't...

Little scared of this factor with the kiddos and wife.
