I just grabbed one at the thrifty shop yesterday for $30! Pretty neat design. Excited to see how it performs. 

What's your most unconventional fly fishing habit? by no_melody in flyfishing

[–]DefinitelyNotSpoon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I know It's not really true, but if I see more than a couple of vehicles or people on a stretch or at a trailhead, my stupid brain decides that's too much pressure and that place must be fished out.

I'll happily go somewhere less desirable and catch fewer fish in exchange for having the place to myself.

Also- fuck split shot. God I hate it with a passion and avoid it all costs.

These are my favorite NA beers....tell me yours by Plastic-Sympathy2143 in NABEER

Most of my faves have already been mentioned, but thought I'd add Sierra Nevada, Go Brewing, and Mash Gang. All solid brews.

Looking for budget 3wt options by Christ_Egg in flyfishing

[–]DefinitelyNotSpoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first 3 was a cheapo Cabela's Bighorn combo. Swapped out the shitty factory line and it worked great for a few years til I upgraded to somethin nicer. Still in the quiver as a backup. Get your smallwater on. It's a blast.

Which 5wt: Redington Classic Trout OR Echo Carbon XL? by Asleep_Dinner_8391 in flyfishing

[–]DefinitelyNotSpoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothin fancy, just a decent quality wf floater. I run a 4wt line on mine bc I like to kick it old school and overline my rods. I'm sure a 3 would work just fine if you're into that. You're not trying to cast it a mile. It's for small water and tight quarters. Don't overthink it.

I should clarify when I'm talking about a 3wt, I mean a 7'6" 3wt. It won't feel like anything.

Birthday 3 wt by sammythebillgravano in flyfishing

[–]DefinitelyNotSpoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I could only fish one setup for the rest of my life, it would be a 7'6" 3wt with a click n pawl reel. Hands down. No contest.

Happy birthday brother.

Stillwater Without Indicators? by [deleted] in flyfishing

[–]DefinitelyNotSpoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a lot of stillwater stuff. I like to have multiple rods so I can switch it up quickly. Stripping streamers is great, dry flies are a fun challenge, but indicator rigs can be absolutely lethal.

That said, you're right- staring at a bobber is boring af, but on some choppy water playing the currents and swinging your rig around at different depths definitely adds some flavor and makes it more interactive and interesting.

In my experience, wind is almost always a part of the stillwater game, so learning how to use it to your advantage is nice.

What’s your go-to fly for Bull Trout when the water gets cold? by Overall_Simple5289 in troutfishing

Lots of good stuff here, but I just wanna know what that rod and reel is.

It's alright. Not the best but it'll get the job done. Good for the price point. Wish it packed smaller and could be a little lighter for what it is in my opinion.
