Catch of the day [Fishing]

[Mild7]

G have you had much interest in the spring fly trip?  I'd be keen to know costs, timing etc.  it's probably out of my reach, but you never know..

[Giles]

I am going with my oldest friend.  I'll PM you.

Just found this over at End Clothing.

Nice on Jeff, how did you do?

[derivative666]

Didnt see anything. The water was unusually warmer then usual. Had a peaceful morning anyway.

[Finn666]

after years of collecting dust, i just sorted some stuff and can't wait to get started again

also bought something to read…

[Finn666]

btw. G. (or anyone!), I'm on the hunt for a nice new spin rod…any recommendations?

[Giles]

That's like saying "I want a new pair of shoes, what should I get?"

There are a million and one variable; what sort of reel will you be using, what sort of fish you after, fresh water or salt water, what weight line, what length rod, what weight lure, how far do you need to cast….....

[Finn666]

@Giles:

what sort of reel will you be using
a spinning reel

what sort of fish you after
pike, zander, bass

fresh water or salt water
fresh water

what weight line
depends on if i'm going to use "standard" or "braided" line, right?
braided i'd get one between 0,12 and 0,14mm

what length rod
from 2.40m to 3.00m

what weight lure
check the picture post above

how far do you need to cast
gonna fish from the riverside so i'd say 20-30m maybe!

[Finn666]

went fishing, catched nothing…
on the other hand though, today was great since i figured a few old tricks and all...tomorrow i should be hooking some bass (i hope) ^^

some spots...the streaming was pretty intense. would be perfect for fly-fishing i think!

yours truly…

silverman big catch, 2.70m, throw weight: 40-80gr.

looking forward to tomorrow!

[hajduk]

Rafa!
u are fishing with HH boots…

[Finn666]

yes…why not
i knew that i'm not getting them wet!

at the end of the day they're just boots, right

[mclaincausey]

Horses can handle water pretty well

[Finn666]

so it's beer o`clock now…going to hit up the local fishing store, need to buy a thing or two before i'll go back to work (not for work, but for fishing!)

it's raining a bit, so perfect condition...stoked

[Giles]

Last night, with Alex and a friend.

I caught one, too small to bother photographing….
