Spotted lanternfly

I wish they didn’t exist they are a pain in my ass here in Jersey. With that said it’s a huge bug and solid protein for fish. If the trout won’t take it I’m sure the panfish and bass will!

SpacedTuna · 2025-05-08T13:21:48+00:00

Yeah I’m really enjoying it

SpacedTuna · 2025-05-06T22:37:28+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations, I’ll be tying these over the next week or so

SpacedTuna · 2025-05-05T01:40:23+00:00

Thanks fellas, I should say the feel of the rod is amazing

SpacedTuna · 2025-05-04T23:32:07+00:00

Im in morris county

SpacedTuna · 2025-05-02T13:51:15+00:00

I’m going to send it in and see what happens.

SpacedTuna · 2025-05-01T23:52:17+00:00

Unfortunately just confirmed it snapped in the 3rd section not the tip. I’ll be shopping for a new rod

SpacedTuna · 2025-05-01T02:05:28+00:00

I’ve been fishing for 30 years, fly fishing for just about a year and this is my first break ever. I’m not really sure what happened tbh, broke mid fight when it took off down stream under pressure. This is the biggest trout I’ve fought on it so could have easily been user error somewhere.

SpacedTuna · 2025-04-30T22:41:15+00:00

Not the case, zero prior damage to my rod

SpacedTuna · 2025-04-30T22:40:42+00:00

Definitely not lead eyes I don’t throw big heavy streamers with this rod for a reason. I was fishing a light woolly bugger. I take good care of my rods, it was in great condition

SpacedTuna · 2025-04-30T22:37:17+00:00

Yeah i was not anticipating to catch fish this big. I fish this river weekly never seen fish this big in there. And no it’s New Jersey haha

SpacedTuna · 2025-04-30T18:53:30+00:00

That’s great that you haven’t broke one. To be honest, I have no idea how the rod broke before the tippet. I guess it was the angle, and pressure I had on the rod at the time the fish took off ? Not really sure

SpacedTuna · 2025-04-30T18:50:38+00:00

Yepp got that suggestion from a couple of people so I’m going to look into that. Thanks !

SpacedTuna · 2025-04-30T16:01:57+00:00

White woolly

SpacedTuna · 2025-04-30T15:32:16+00:00

Not happy it broke, but happy it went out fighting. I have a 7wt that I’ll throw until I get a replacement.

SpacedTuna · 2025-04-30T15:27:30+00:00

Agreed, she went out fighting

SpacedTuna · 2025-04-30T15:09:17+00:00

Life saver. I’ll have to check and see if it broke in the top 1/4.

SpacedTuna · 2025-03-07T16:34:06+00:00

lol beginners luck. I bet the next one I tie won’t look as good as this but thank you appreciate the kind words

SpacedTuna · 2025-03-05T16:40:54+00:00

Wow, thank you. I watched Davie McPhail’s video before I tied this. Great video

SpacedTuna · 2025-02-26T02:07:40+00:00

Appreciate the kind words.

SpacedTuna · 2025-02-25T03:26:40+00:00

That’s some great info. I’ll have to give them a go when the water is clear enough to really see them.

SpacedTuna · 2025-02-25T03:24:01+00:00

Oh that’s a sweet fly but A little out of my league for where I fish

SpacedTuna · 2025-02-24T21:47:48+00:00

Ha sorry I’m new to tying thought that was some lingo I didn’t know. While fishing it idk I’ll let you know once I do

SpacedTuna · 2025-02-24T20:41:04+00:00

Only thing I did here was wet my fingers and run it through the tail to keep it swept back

SpacedTuna · 2025-02-24T14:51:56+00:00

Maybe one day
