    SOB that broke my 5 WT fly rod. 🙃

      Not if he breaks one of your favorite pieces of equipment. It's amazing to me just how emotionally attached we become to some of our gear.

      Yeah, on the one hand this was one of the largest fish I've ever landed with a fly rod, and the same fish goes ahead and breaks one of my favorite pieces of ...more equipment leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Not sure how to feel about that one.

    Finding the bigger fish today hiding under slop mats/laydown jam ups. Short flips at the top of the mat & let the current drift the craw underneath. This 20" ...more DuPage river largie gobbled it up before the jig hit the floor. Air80 Water74

    With River levels very low,the fish moving to zones w/more depth overall. Finding areas stacked w/smallies willing to bite the craw.

    Josh found this red eyed Bronzeback hugging the bank in a narrow eddy next to raging current in 2-3' water. A lot of quality smallies working their way up river ...more & near faster water.
