I tie my own and integrate a rosco size 7 barrel swivel into the shaft. If I am fishing a store bought spinner I put a barrel swivel inline and fluoro leader because I only use braid for everything (power pro). Also are you planning on fishing spinners with a spinning reel or casting reel. I...

I have caught some nice src out of the wilson, trask and kilchis up to around 22". Of course I have never kept any of them over 16" only under, since I have always understood that trout over 16" are considered steelhead plus they are non clipped fish being a native src to that river. And don't...

If your gonna go with a round reel you can't go wrong with the abu c3 or c4 models. It sounds like your looking for low profile though I think you'll be happy with the curado definitely a time tested design.

The question I have for the op is what technique are you going to use said reel for? Bank or boat fishing?

I would have to agree it will be a zoo if your a bank fisherman and only fishing the known popular spots. I have been fishing there every opening day for the last five years in my boat and it never really feels crowded until your tired and ready to take the boat out at ramp c and every person...

yeah that. Saw way to many people that looked like they were racing. I felt like I was gonna get lapped a few times. I see nothing wrong with what you were using its all personal preference when it comes to trolling for trout it all will work for the most part.

Continue to do what you were doing and wait for conditions to improve. I don't know what you were using or technique but your story is not uncommon for today. But if I had to bring one technique to hagg it would be a dodger or flasher followed by a macks wedding ring.

x2 for yami

Perfect not stocking hagg till after they open and stocking twice in one week at the end of march beginning of april. I know these are typos that will get fixed. I can't wait to be able to fish all year long.

i know how it works just wondering i guess if it will work accurately if you toss it into some mild current (bobber water). I guess there is only one way to find out.

has anyone ever used a humminbird smartcast. Seen a guy a couple years ago using one off the bank at a lake. It just recently occured to me maybe this might work in the rivers for gauging depth of hole in a certain slot you are trying to fish and water temp. not really looking to find fish...

this is my biggest problem for sure. I just hate driving a ton just to find out the next river or next spot is same result when there is fish right where i am fishing. I can usually find the fish its finding the biters is the problem.

sorry about that it works now

http://www.dfw.state.or.us/fish/CRP/coastal_multispecies.asp Did anyone one this site get to fill out the survey? I think the odfw should change their name to nfs.

so what your saying is a 3 way or t type swivel below bobber andthe weight (dropper) on the run and the leader on the tee or branch with 2 ft leader. I will have to try this set up I like the sounds of it. I hadn't done this before because I always thought the weight had to be above your hook...
