Surprising shallow actually less than 5 feet.

Thats a @Sir Homey tie. Maybe he can give it a run down. I didn't get a water temp, but in the spring I had a good day there when air temps were in the 40s so I figured I give it a go.

Yes. Yes, it can. Went 6 for 7 yesterday. This was the biggun for the day.

Sounds like some hungry bass!

I use 16# fluorocarbon. I have had some large bass come in with 5 lbs worth of weeds with it, and rarely do I loose a fly with that. In fact I can't remember last time I did. Thats just me and where I like to fish though so experiment and find what works best for you. Also, as water levels...

Popper or gurgler in the shaded areas. Use a stout leader, if you aren't getting hung up occasionally you aren't in the right spot.

When this happens I usually wonder how they are that deep in the grass! Seems like they are mostly amphibious creatures sometimes.:oops:

The rabbits in Langley, WA on Whidbey are a sight. All sorts of colors and sizes. Clearly some domestic interbreeding.

We had to say goodbye to our world-famous, yet locally unknown southern nut hound Kerrygold this morning. She was a damn good dog that was a friend and gentle giant to everyone who met her, including our two kids. She almost made it 16 years, and just recently took a hard turn. Hold your pets...

I think many west side lakes have suffered from post spawn funk. Should be good for the next month or so, before it moves to the early morning late evening game.

Last time I was there the area was suffering a major drought and the falls were little more than s trickle. The redeyes were wary of anything around their pools/prisons and it was difficult to get a bite. I found a nice very small hidden protected pool that formed under a large shelf rock. Bow...

Great report. Northeast Alabama has some spectacular scenery.

Just don't go noodling for them.

Snapping turtles and cotton mouths were the usual concern whilst wet wading in the south. Kept things interesting

@clarkman What about a faster glass guy?!

Thanks Mike. Thats perfect

Tested it today with a WF5F and DT5. It seemed to like the DT more. I started removing the comically small guides from the blank. The stripping guide looks to be about 4mm ID. 1 stripping guide, 8 snake guide and the tip-top. I am thinking for guide sizes10mm, 3, 2, 1,1/0, 1/0, 1/0, 1/0, 1/0...

It is! Back when glass was new they needed a transition I guess.

I recently came into possession of Heddon 702 Tubular Glass rod from 1951, complete with Faux Bamboo "browntone" finish! Cork and reel seat are in great condition, and has a nice patina. Guide and ferrule wraps are starting to come undone, but that will be a fun project to fix. I'd like to put...
