Hi, this thread got me thinking as I would like to not have a zillion rods but would like to re-add a baitcaster to my quiver. For mostly smallies with occasional largemouth and maybe a schoolie striper, should I get a rod that throws 1/4-3/4 oz or bump up to a rod that throws up to an ounce?

So still snowing in interior norcal. Been skiing a lot. Pow days in April are always a bonus! Oh also a couple weekends ago we went to the Tam McArthur Rim yurts outside of Sisters Or. the hurts were great and the ski terrain is excellent. We had everything from corn to pow during our stay

I use a fly called a Wright’s Royal on the regular. 1/2 way between and EHC and a Royal coachman. I fish it dry and wet.

I think it was in Mcphee’s book The Founding Fish (about American shad if you have t read it) where there was a saying that God took a porcupine and turned it inside out, and created a shad. They are bony!

I grew up right near Chesapeake Bay and we had chain pickerel (1st cousin of pike) in brackish water. I have caught pickerel, Norfolk spot, and bluefish all in the same spot. Oh and occasionally sharks.

Snowing hard in interior Norcal. Mostly just snow blowing but a quick powsurf this afternoon behind the house. Too much snow for that even. Two sledders I talked with said the hill across the street has 7 feet on it and it is still dumping. No doubt some wind transfer. Pali valley had a 109 mph...

So cal specifically. Altho my so cal relatives get e saying the 80 sometimes

I lived near Chesapeake Bay and we would pull these guys up in crab traps on occasion, which would send all us bare foot kids scurrying up the pilings. From 4 feet away you are fine, closer than that these guys can move quick. I saw a medium size one hiss and then snap, biting a crab net handle...

We just got back from our family ski road trip in Utah, wyoming and Idaho. Hit some of the big resorts and had decent snow but my favorite day was hitting legendary Pomerelle!!!

What stage does the 'I'd love to catch lots of big fish but Im going to continue to fish this fly even though it isn't working, because I had fun tying it/if I tie on another fly I have to add new tippet and I don't feel like doing that/left my glasses at home and can't tie on another fly/this...

I responded in the other thread and my answer is the same here: starling and herl. Not sure if it works because it works, or if it works because it is what is on the end of my line, but it works! 12 and 14 for me. Sometimes on a curved hook. Btw if there is a favorite baitfish pattern thread my...

I am a size 16 starling and herl fan. On a heavy short shank hook. Dressed with floatant if fishing dry and not if fishing damp/wet. It is good swung too. I tie some with a bead for dry/dropped fishing. They are $$$$$$$$
