Bernduffy. I too am getting old (70 plus) and have fished with the spinning rod & a bobber for many years. I use one of those two inch egg bobbers that can be filled completely with water. When using this type of bobber the line is attached to a swivel and the bobber placed above the swivel...

The way I read the regulations the limit is 5 bass total not 5 largemouth & 5 smallmouth. Panman

Just a quick update on the bass at Hyatt. Visited Hyatt yesterday and fished along the weed and willow beds. Fishing was fairly easy and I limited in less than an hour. Most fish between 8 & 10 inches. Weapon of choice a 9 ft 4 wt fly rod with a popper and a leech fly for a dropper. All the...

A rainbow from Agency Lake on a Rapala. Weight: 10 lbs, 12 ounces on a certified scale. Panman

I fished Agate earlier this week for crappie. Agate has cleared quite a lot and flies produced results. Caught a few small bass and some gills as well. Hopefully this cold spell doesn't put a damper in the action. Panman

I have a Wild Water rod. However it is a 9 ft 4 wt. I have used the rod for several year with no complaints or problems. For that price I would consider buying. Panman

I prefer using a fly that resembles a minnow over a jig simply because they are more durable. I like to sink the fly below either a popper or a corkie and fish them very slowly. Panman
