What more could you ask for--beautiful weather, hardly any wind, lake full of eager--and I mean jumping, cavorting eager--fish, a light 7ft rod, 2wt line, rubber spider, Tellico nymph. It was the first time out for my newest reel, a gorgeous little Hardy Tealweight II, and it did just what it was supposed to do--hold extra line and look great hanging on the rod. I lost count of the fat, sassy bluegills I caught, and I didn't even raid the beds. Now I have to go mow the lawn before it rains--boohoo!
