interested. please post link when available.

how was the bowhunting?

sounds like great trip. Thanks for the report.

i use 2 flies a majority of the time. windy days can be tough. i prefer to fish under the surface vs something like a hopper dropper. sometimes i use an attractor then a scud or sow. i vary it up until i find something that seems to be working. i also like 2 flies when im stripping. kinda like 2 bait fish or one chasing another. i tend to tie off the hook more often.

My opinion is this belongs in the alternative method season along with any device that maintains an arrow in a cocked and ready position at all times i.e. crossbows.

i think Lakey's has leeches too.

Thanks for the info guys. I believe these will be best served on a shelf for decoration. Think i'll just get a basic white river or something of that sort. besides i've prob got 4-5 extra rods the I dont have reels for and could use an extra one or two to rig up those as well.

2 of the 3 will spool up. the copper colored one, its an eagle claw, wont spin. prob needs a good cleaning.

Thanks for the insight. interesting to know the shakespeare is that old. Im not even sure how to use these. seems like they are spring loaded or something. should prob watch some youtube video to help learn. Ive got a couple rods laying around that I could strap these on to so i can go play.

Here's another one. I have 3 total.

My wife's grandfather has picked these up at garage sales/estate sales and passed them along to us. I remember my grandfather using one but cant say i ever have. Is there any value to these reels? Id like to spool one up for my son. He wants to fly fish.

how was the fishing in that tailwater? is that a cold water fishery?

wow! this is too much drama for me. nice fish huntingducks117. be selective, shoot big ones, shoot small ones, stab em, keep em, release em. do whatever you want long as its within the regs. no pics of big ones here. its usually straight to the stringer for those, no messing with the camera.

we're going to give it a go tomorrow afternoon. we'll prob drop a couple jugs as we head up one of the river arms. we'll stop on a shoal somewhere along the way and swim for while. then prob start fishing during the evening. it'll still be hot but a bit more bearable when we swim.

thats the truth. its not the ones I catch that keep me going back, its ones that get away.

Sounds awesome. Bucket list trip. Any smallies mixed in?

That’s nice one

how deep you run jug lines this time of year?

we'll prob head out Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. but itll be late afternoon or early morning and shorter trips.

nice work! how are you attaching the weight in front of the crank? do you use a swivel to keep the weight from sliding all the way down to the crank? are you using an egg or bullet style weight? I struggle getting baits deep enough this time of year. I like this idea, havnt tried it yet but prob will.

Thanks. Being our first time on Pomme wasnt quite sure what to expect. we ended up at Bolivar Landing. Ran up river to the first group of docks and a bluff around them. Fished for 40 min or so and found really shallow water and no fish. decided we needed out of the shallow water before I blow a lower unit or do any damage to the boat and we headed down the lake. we found several areas holding fish, bluffs/timber around the channel and deeper water. Pomme did live up to its reputation, we prob caught 10 shorts for every 1 keeper but it was a ton of fun and no shortage of 'fish on!'

I'm headed to pomme tomorrow morning to fish with my wife. First time on this lake, we usually fish way up the arms of stockton, near lake river boundaries. Going after crappie, or whatever we can find. any suggestions on what ramp to use (or not use), what arm of the lake or what to look for to find fish? i'm thinking i should find fish in 15-25' around timber/brush or bluffs. Pittsburg ramp is what i had in mind because it looks like water im a little more familiar with but reports on here sure make the wheatland area look appealing.

saw a bunch up from aldrich sunday evening

that sure is a good looking boat!! seems well worth the sale price. If i fished tailwaters or rivers more Id sure be taking a hard look at this.
