dpenrod,,,,,that's a wooly bugger tied with nickel lead eyes, olive marabou tail and peacock estaz chenille. Lot's of sparkle in the water.
brhoff,,,,,,that's a 12' Lowe jon boat that I customed to allow me to sit in front with the trolling motor at my left hand. Just ran #8 wire up the gunnels and reversed the head on the motor.

Hey, Jim, did you reply to the thread that asked whether we played our fish on or off the reel?:rolleyes::rolleyes:
Couldn't resist...those coils look like mine:lol:

Looks like some really good fishing in your local area, I've been playing with a few of my glass rods of late also..tonight I took the eldest daughter to a pond up the road for her first foray into the fly fishing world..
we both used glass...and I am not much of a teacher it appears...Guess I gotta get her a setup and just let her work things out..If she still wants to...Think I'll try and get her more into the rigging how to's and such and work from there...
Never seen a fly reel back lashed before today!:rolleyes: spent a good half hour tearing down my favorite reel and working tangles out of the line, Before the ride for home.:p

ducksterman.......didn't see the thread, but I strip in everything. What did Bill Booker tell Tim Linehan on the Kennebago Lake...."don't lose a fish at the expense of getting the line on the reel....?" Tried it once with a nice LMB just to see how it felt; felt lousy when he took a dive in heavy grass and broke off 3x tippett. I fish for fun and to catch fish, ain't no cameras on me.....
billknepp......keep at it, you've got an irreplacable fishing partner there. Remember, only wave the flag. Fly rod is pick-up, up stroke, down stroke, presentation.
Tight lines and tons of fish, Jim
