This question ran burning through my mind, slapping its pants and screeching for a bucket of water, after I returned from a session of angling on [url=http://www.flashearth.com/?lat=33.185027&lon=-96.634298&z=18.3&r=0&src=msa:d3082]Towne Lake McKinney[/url:d3082] (We angled under the + sign)

Keebranch and I tested out some various lines on his Cabelas Clear Creek one weight. Then we tried out his Temple Fork 2 weight. It was lovey dovey with a Cortland Ten Meter four weight line.

So after all that I put together my zero weight and we got down to fishin'. None of the fish we landed were as big as my hand and I don't have large hands. But the fight in these fish was a thing of loveliness. I got to hang out with a friend, fight the fight piscine and come home with my hands smelling like I'd been fishing.

One can drive long distances and pay large sums of money to fish; and I firmly believe that this is a good thing to do. There are thrills galore, there are adventures aplenty far afield. But never forget that there are some sweetnesses right in your own area, right down the road, perhaps a short walk from your front door. The zero weight opens that door to local adventure, a door that might never open with a heavier rod.
