What better way to spend an autumn day?

Took my "new" South Bend #359 8-1/2' and #290 7-1/2' out to test lines on Friday; took 4,5,& 6 weighted reels along. The 359 threw the 6 so well I never bothered with anything else; started the 290 on the 4 and it was OK, but it really woke up on the 5. Blooded both rods on gills...

When the weather holds, autumn fishing is by far my favorite!

Looks like you had fun.

Yes,
Looks like you had a GRAND time. Looks like some fun gear too.
We sit here this AM in a quandary as do we travel an hour west and do steelhead or do we travel an hour east and do crappie? The crappie will probably win out as we owe a friend some fillets....
