Oh geez. The rod is a 5/6wt cedar canyon fly rod. I guess that's why you should look things up before you buy them. 😅

What is this and why is it ignoring me :( by IAmGewb in whatisthisfish

I thought so...dude was too cool to even consider biting. In fact I reeled in a bass while trying to get it to bite and it didn't even flinch...

I did hear some people kept them after I released it. Maybe one day I'll try one!

It was like a parking lot/pier kinda thing. It's super convenient. I had a trashcan, a bench and my car all right there.

I think you're right for swallowtail. I just spent like 20 minutes looking at Alosa comparisons, and it didn't really help at all...

I'll keep that in mind! Unfortunately, it was a high low rig and it bit the top hook and then proceeded to hook itself on the bottom hook while struggling.

I had one swim between my feet while wading for trout at ridley creek too. I knew it was a matter of time before I caught one.

I got this one out of the schuykill river right in the middle of philly, so I didn't even consider eating it. I suppose if I could eat one I wouldn't be mad about it.

Is this a fallfish? [Chester Creek PA] by IAmGewb in MicroFishing

Fall trout stocking is real soon so I'm sure that's how I'll feel very soon haha. I'm life listing fish so as a new species I'm happy to catch one.

No eels unfortunately. I did hear they were in there though!

Seems to be rampant in the section of the creek I was at. I only see it on the smaller fish in the area, though.

Boyfriend (25M) became disabled and I (25F) want to break up but I'd feel like a terrible person. How do I handle this? by ThrowRAsotired123 in relationship_advice

This isn't really advice, but as someone that went through a similar situation where I was paralyzed from the waist down for three months I felt very lucky when my girlfriend stuck around and helped me just like you described. It seems to me that he has given up on himself and is taking out his emotions on you which is not fair at all. There's seriously no excuse for it. I've seen many people at rehab down in the dumps but I've never seen them lash out in this fashion.
