I've never seen fishing this good this early... and I'm *old*. ;) Congrats Dave - stay on 'em.
Good for you.. Feels good to get out don't it? ;)
Wow 11 foot 2weight.. that has to be "wand". As lousy a caster as I am I think I'd be getting wind knots... in the rod. ;)
Thanks for sharing..
Guys.. all I can tell you is if you are anywhere affected by these unseasonable temps - Get Out There! They were just nutz today. The wind actually laid about 4:00 (I mean *Flat* - first time since I...
Good to see you back in the mix Dave. I don't catch a lot of white crappie but my personal best (all tackle) was a white - 17". The biggest black I caught yesterday was really getting dark. They're...
How about a 30" channel cat? ;) that was fun on the 5wt. :)

There's a rip-rapped place along the river below me where you'll see fish busting minnows.. Throw a jig in there and you might come up with any number of species - including flatheads. They usually...
I totally understand Wulff... it's a commitment.. but there's waaay more to it than drinking. In fact - there's almost two completely diffrent rides - the "morning" crowd (beautiful scenery, great...
Had myself a day today.. fished for 4 hours in the rain. Non-stop action - 'gills, crappie, bass and one nice catfish.
I jumped on the "purple" bandwagon and caught my best 'gill of the year, so...
Any of you bikers ever do RAGBRAI..absolutely the coolest thing - at least in its "earlier" days. I did it 11 times.. used to ride a couple thousand miles a year. Kind of seems like a whole lifetime...
lol.. yep - and because you had to "qualify" 1. and 3. you just as well add to .2. Crappies' eyes are situated to look "up". I can tell you from icefishing experience a crappie will quite often come...
#8 or 10 Red or Red/White Boa Leech has "been berry, berry goood to me" this year. ;) As the water warms pre-spawn don't be afraid to go shallow. Most of my fish come in 4' or less - sometimes 6"....
I totally agree Fly Goddess. I've landed two catfish, 25 and 27" on a 3 weight this year.. I do cast a lot of 4-7" flies and many tied on 1/0 hooks. Not only do you have to cast them but, even with a...
Great help folks.. Good stuff and just what I was hoping for.
Thanks Turvy... I have to admit .. when you said "smallies" - I wasn't thinking *five* pound class smallies. Color me jealous. ;) and...
Thanks guys. Just checked my bookmark on them and they are on sale + $2 shipping. Dang, I'd like to put my hands on one before I pull the trigger.
Turvy.. sounds like you may have answered one...
Has anyone fooled with the Cabela's line of glass rods? Thinking about something to throw bass flies. I'm going to be hitting a shop in the next couple weeks. Hope they have one I can put hands on....
Great report... I think you're in the vicinity of my ancestors, too. I wonder of we still own any good trout waters. ;)
Great report and good pics. Thanks for sharing. .. (I'm a little "green" here and it ain't from St Patty's day ;) )
Dang that's a nice fish.. Bet that cat was fun, too. Congrats...
Feels good to be out don't it? ;) congrats..
Man, UJesse.. I agree whole-heartedly. I've caught a number of cats and I *love* it. I have one of those little one man-ers and my PB was 30" and came on my 3weight. Towed me around forever. :)
...
aa... lol.. oh believe me. I don't feel a bit bad. I'm most decidedly an equal opportunity angler. I'll fish for anything that pulls back. Hey! those drum *pull*. I'll bet that was a riot.
I had a...
Thanks gentlemen.. If God hadn't meant us to eat fish he wouldn't have given us fly tackle and forks. ;)
Can't catch a big bass to save my butt. Thought I had one today.

27" - Fun...
wow. . . nice crawdad.. couple more like him and I'd be I'd have evil thoughts. ;) Stay after them fishes.
