Congrats on a real small stream pig. You and that wooly bugger are getting to be a lethal combination.

Awesome. I'd say that qualifies for 30 minutes of fun.

Sweet.

Congrats, Tread. Didn't know you could catch them in that color of water.

Hope not, but it ain't looking really good. I guess there could have been some early spawners whose fry might have gotten big enough to survive, or maybe there will be some late ones next month.

That next to last Shoalie looks very much like a smallie. Any chance of smallies in that water?

The Coosa is slow going upstream, but it isn't horrible. I use mine that way, and I don't really worry that much about it. It is a bit of a bear on steep take outs, though. One rugged, steep...

Nice job, Ken. Pretty trout.

As a satisfied Coosa owner, I'd say one of the biggest things you need to consider before buying a Coosa over a 119 is the difficulty of dragging the Coosa around. A 119 is much easier to pull up a...

"If you let me go, I'll tell you where my big sister lives".

Don't know where you live, but there are some outfitters that have decent pricing on canoes and kayaks, and might beat Dick's. ARC is one that comes to mind, but I don't know if you are anywhere...

I don't care what forum it was, that fish in January on the fly is noteworthy, and a welcome viewing interruption for a hibernating angler like myself.

There was a board malfunction that kept people off for a while. Couple that with the fact that there is less traffic in the winter, and that pretty much explains things. Things should pick up in...

Ken, my PB in VA wasn't in April, like Mookie and Catawba, but was in May, and did not appear to be roe laden. I am thinking it was post spawn for sure. It was not far from the coastal plain...

Try to keep that Coosa upright better than Tread does, Mookie.

Not so stellar for me, either, Ken. I got a 22 inch largemouth, but it was in a private pond that I rarely get to fish, and which has little access to fishermen. I almost don't count what I get...

Good to see you back in the seat of a kayak, Jason. Nice shoalies. Pretty colors.

Bummer. I was hoping you might catch lightning in a bottle with the unusually warm temperatures. Still, four runts is four more than I have caught since October, when I last fished. Four runts and...

Thanks, Ken. Temps for the Yad can also give us an idea about the whole region, especially when you give air temps relative to the water temps.

Jason, are you lacking a truck because of the accident? Will it be eventually replaced by insurance, since you weren't at fault, or are you outta luck?

Shoalie, looks like.

Wow! That's a pig! Didn't realize from the photo that it was that big. Equals my personal best, but beats my NC personal best smallie by three and a half inches.

I wasn't real clear with what my problems were with the lines I was using. With the Vanish, I found, that for me, knot integrity was poor (not the leader to braid knot, the Trilene Knot that I used...

I've used a leader with braid with less than stellar results, but for the most part, it's just disatisfaction with the particular line that I have used for the leader (Vanish and Pline Flouroclear). ...

We don't have the monsters you catch in our little rivers, Jason. Although, perhaps if I would take a second mortgage and buy some Bullshads, maybe I'd get surprised.
