Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Well, this afternoon I re-acquainted myself to the LLR procedure. The fish did wave his.her tail at me as they went. Dang wind blew me off the lake again this afternoon. Maybe I should go later in the evening when the winds die down.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Same here. Some taste real muddy.

Bugs Bonney SASS # 10171 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Caught a small (12 inch) bass on the fly rod yesterday. I'm not sure how I feel about that. It was fun but the rod sure seems to absorb a lot of the fight.. I must have enjoyed it though because I grabbed the Fly Rod again this morning. Didn't catch anything but my casting has improved I can noe get about 20 feet of line out before I start whipping the water on the forward cast. If nothing else I love the challenge.

Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Bugs the casting stroke is between the 11 and 1 clock position stop at 11 on the fore cast , then lower the rod to drop the line on the water CB I be tired of the NASTY weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 I see where Sage came out with a rod for Bluegills as part of their new Bass Rods. At that price tag, I can't see a lot of bluegill fishers looking for one to buy. They are awfully proud of their ONE rod too. But I can't find any fault with my SLT rod. I just read that I should not over line my 5 wt SLT with a 6 wt floater. Guess I will use it on the other 5 wt rod and see what it does. Going to need a new line for the Hardy LRH 5 weight reel. Got six ont he SA reel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't catch anything but my casting has improved I can noe get about 20 feet of line out before I start whipping the water on the forward cast. If nothing else I love the challenge. Bugs, 2 things to try: 1) slow down your casting stroke. Yes, slow down. You need to let the rod do its work. 2) think 10 and 2. Stop the rod tip about 10:00 and 2:00. Not always necessary to be that precise but this will get you on the right track. Another thing (bonus 3rd out of 2) is to put your non-casting hand in front of you about where the 2:00 position would be. On your forward cast, use the off hand to stop your forward progress quickly. fly casting isn't a mystery just a little timing issues to fix and all will be well in the universe. You'll be tossing 30-40' casts in no time. Even though I can cast farther, I rarely see a need to launch more than about 30 feet in 95% of my fishing. GS.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Except when the fish are all just over there beyond that big rock in the middle of the water. You know the one, that is about fifteen feet beyond your casting ability. If you listen you can hear them laughing at you. I larned somethings today about my 5 wt Sage rod that I didn't know. Now I want to get out and test it out. That SLT is the smoothest casting rod I have ever held in my hand. And Sage discontinued making it for higher end rods with a bigger $$$ tag. Maybe I will take it to the lake next week and flay the waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Most of the fly rods I have are lesser name makers I am basicley self taught , as to casting , this is why I have a very up right and tight casting style? biggest problem with this , if your timing is off , you ARE gonna hook yourself wor&s very well to punch through the wind , with bulkey bugs and weighted flys CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
