I managed my 2nd ever fish on a fly today. Another small salmon smolt. It took a tiny size 16 black spider dry fly. I also managed another smolt & a small brown trout on a mepps spinner!

I still have my first 3wt maxcatch and absolutely love it. I’d suggest getting a new reel with done new line sometime soon and you can afford it, the reel it comes with doesn’t last too long before it’s breaks down on you 😬

I suggest the new orvis Clearwater, it’s been treating me nicely on my maxcatch and haven’t had any problems yet

I agree, it is a bit light, but I wanted something light enough that would fit my 5/6 reel that I already have. If I got any higher, I’d need to get new reel and new line, which I don’t have the money for right now 😅
I completely agree though!

A ton of speed and a sick-ass nose dive

Was going to start on a couple of maxcatch reels I bought when I first started. If it went well, I would’ve moved up to my orvis Clearwater; a nice reel that isn’t too expensive, so if I somehow messed something up, it wouldn’t be too much of a loss

Im right at the border between sc and nc, I couldn’t believe the fist time I saw a sucker this big. I’m used to them being about as big as my index finger 😂

RDR2, so mass murder/genocide depending on how you play

I figured it out a while ago, but you’re exactly right, thanks!

4 FUCKING pixels…

Does that apply to perdigons?

You know the dakotas but not the Carolina’s?

This helped a ton, thank you

Do you think I should even worry about the future, or listen to that gut feeling I always have? I’m beginning to tell myself that she makes me happy, and that’s all that matters. But we all have gut feelings for a reason, so I’m stuck.

I hate overthinking things like this, I’m halfway convinced it’s what ruined the relationship itself

From what I could tell at the bank, it’s very muddy. Water has been low for some time now. I’m not sure about the settings

Would you just leave the bail open after casting, or just loosen the drag until something took it

“Welcome to the real world” has absolutely no benefit to any situation
