It's snagging IMHO! Just like a spin guy who puts a weighted treble hook with some color to snag the fish.
Or like when fly fishing only guys put a hunk of worm on the fly to catch more fish.

With all this hot weather and the shallow creeks....... where are all the fish hiding?
I had a wonderful time today with my flyrod.

Do you always do what the CFO tells you to do?
I bet he doesn't want you to watch the pix either.
If the CFO saw these pix, he would grab his flyrod and say he had a business meeting. Then he would...
I also have had quite a few smallmouth flyrods.
What I have found:
A CPS Redington is the best value for a high end X Fast rod. $300 but it is lighter than the LU of the FLi
A 4pc 9' 6wt CPS is...
The Susquehanna is in the worst shape it's every been in.
I also fish the white fly hatch. The hatch starts around Wrightsville and goes upstream. I too have seen blizzard hatches...... but no...
Lite tackle is the only way to go!! Fishing is for our enjoyment, and the lite, high quality fly rods are a beautiful thing to fish with!!
You can have as much fun with a 10" trout on a 0 wt as...
LOL!! you guys are so "hen pecked"
your wife is longing for a "man" who can make decisions on his own, not a sissy who has to ask her if he can buy something! I'll bet she buys everything she...
Use a thin tippet, 6X or 7X, and a small hook nympth.
You'll catch a lot of trout with thin flourocarbon and a tiny realistic fly!!.... like a 18 on a 7X.
Only use the heavy stuff if you are...
I recently purchased a 2 piece, 8', 3 wt St Croix Avid....... at Cabelas for only $99 rather than &160!! Big sale, the new green color this year, so the old color (grey/black, much better...
Thanks Geezer,
The first couple times the pix didn't appear, and this time they are very big!! LOL ..... I wonder if I could reduce the size of the pictures to fit this site? I have a digital...

J Cast,
How do I put on another site, then put the pic here?
Thanks in advance
I fished Muddy Creek, in central PA this weekend. Wow!! what a wonderful time. I caught and released 48 trout yesterday, Sat, and 39 trout today.
About 60 browns, 20 brookies, and 7 rainbows. All...
I fished Muddy Creek today (it's really not muddy at all, a clear beautiful creek) with my new Avid 3wt!! Located in central PA.
On this site, last night, I saw a few ways to fish 2 nympths on one...
It surpises me that most people prefer to fish alone. I never understood alone time, but thats just me, I think its always better with more people. I'd love to hit the pond with as many friends as...
A hot wire tungsten BH prince 14 at the end of the leader, and 12" above it a 16 hare's ear or soft hackle ear with no weight using a 2" dropper loop.
I'll try it this weekend, and report back on...
"You could just as easily use this option with mono, I only suggested that I use dacron because he seemed to have trouble tying knots with it, which I do too. And store bought braids intended for...
I just purchased a 3wt 2 piece 8' St Croix Avid fly rod, on sale at Cabelas for only 99.99, rather than 180!! and I got a CSR large arbor, lite weight reel for only 50 bucks, 25 bucks off!! LOL A...
good point, Dennis
I usually use my back seat for the longer rods, like the one piece spins.
Even a sub compact will fit a 4' rod though. Like my 8' 2 piece......... the smallest trunk ever...
It always bothered me that the "Avid" spinning rods are almost all one piece. St Croix always said the one piece has a much better action.
But with the top end fly rods, they say that the...
I wonder the same thing! Are they multi pieces just to raise the price?
