Wikson this morning 6/10

Hit the water about 6:30 this morning. I purchased a new fly rod and reel yesterday and couldn't wait to try it out. Picked up one about 8" thus removing the skunk from the new rod. Boy what a difference rods can make in casting. I could actually feel the rod load! My old rod is a Southbend 8' 5-6 wt. that I picked up used to learn on and see if I really wanted to get into flyfishing. My new outfit is a Wright McGill 9' 5wt med./fast action and a Wright McGill dragonfly reel from Rivercity Flyshop. can't wait to use it on Lost lake.

.....can't wait to use it on Lost lake.

Access to Lost lake will be restricted June 15-25 while the Oregon National Guard rebuilds the parking area. Walk in will still be allowed but boat will not.

New rods are always fun to break in.

Good job de-skunking the new rod! If that smell sets in it can be hard to remove
