First outing this year

[ohiotuber]

Good buddy Gary & I made it out today for the first time this year. Didn't go to "The Factory" as they were not home & I will not show up there "unannounced". We hit 3 other ponds within 2 miles of one another. Water temp was 53-54 degrees & action was extremely slow. I took 2 bass, 12" & 13" on a pink honeybug, & a solid 9" gill on my yellow woolly worm. It was just great to get out....Good for the soul!!
What I was most pleased about was the performance of my new 3wt line. It was my 1st time using a double taper as opposed to the weight forward I have always used before, & it performed very well....I lost NO distance (at least that we could see) & it roll casts like a champ.
Avery good day.

Sounds like a fun day Mike. But, as to your distance casting I always thought 20 feet was your max??!!

Mike -

Welcome to the world of DT lines. On the lighter weight rods, I think they make so much more sense and do most things better than WF lines, assuming that you get one that matches to your rod reasonably well.

You probably wouldn't have caught ANYTHING with that old WF line today ??!!

John, I assure you that Mike can always catch a tree at least with any line.
