Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 If I can get my fist to work, I want to hit the Sky before the spawn is over on the hatchery run. I bought a new Rio fly line from Cabela's two weeks ago. It is my Christmas present to myself. Got the Rio Gold at half price and free shipping on Black Friday. It is supposed to be the earlier model but looks like the current model to me. Anyway, I needed a new line for the 8 wt, The line on there is over twenty years old. Closer to thirty I guess.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 "CATCHING" MEANS YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEM. Dead or alive they produce issues. Fishing with gear, best to not put the line in the water and the beer can open. Not very much chance of "CATCHING" with that rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 CB, I wouldn't eat a Roaring River Trout if you paid me. Real solid dog food taste there. BMC, The rig I described above is the first rig I used on Taneycomo (Table Rock tail race) trout and the most effective, if you are just catching. Not elegant, not artistic but guaranteed to put 5 1 pounders in the boat in the minimum amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 Yep, we lose a few to the rivers each year. People do not respect the river and get caught short. Those rocks are slippery and that current is strong. Even standing knee deep in moving water has a strong pull on your legs. One slip and you are floating downstream. Come to a sweeper and your are toast. A wading staff is a must, but some refuse to carry one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
