New Rod

Here's a few pictures of the new rod I just put together. It is a 9'6" 8wt Rainshadow blank, with an American tackle titanium braided window reel seat with black graphite insert and black single foot guides. It will be my new lake run rod.

Fish Age

Thank you to Simone Palli and Fish Age Clothing and Accessories for sending me this new gear to test out. I'll let you all know how it is after I get a chance to test run it.

2 Days in Erie

We went up for a Thurs and Friday trip this week and did pretty well. We hit one of my favorite streams on Thurs, and it seemed that the fish made their way up past this section. I only hooked a few here. We then later went upstream and found the pods we were looking for. We hit a couple more before dark, and called it a day. Friday, we went to a very popular stream that is usually very crowded. We got lucky with the weather, and there was barely anybody there. I ended the day with I think 9 fish landed, and a few more hooked. My buddy got a couple there as well. Almost every fish there was fresh chrome. Also, despite the cold weather, they still had a ton of energy and fought great. I also had a first in catching a car antenna. (no joke, look at the picture!) Here's the pics...

Tribs

Here's a look at our recent adventures from NY and PA. The season is just starting to get good for Lake Erie, and Ontario tributary fishing.

Erie and Ontario Tribs

Went up to Erie and WNY for the past 9 days. Here are some of the highlights of our trip...

Thanks to Ian White of Grasshopper Products for sending me the monoMASTER. It is a great way to help save the environment by getting rid of used and unwanted leader and tippet material. It is a great idea with a simple to use design.
