More Fish Pictures

Postby Stan Wright » Sat Sep 22, 2007 6:56 pm

Blaine wanted to catch a peacock bass. He fishes the cold water fish of ID and decided to try our tropical fish.

Image

Using a light 5wt fly rod his first fish was not large enough for a wall hanger, but the way it took his small white streamer fly you would have thought it was a 5 pounder.
Image

As the water temperature rose to 82 degrees the larger fish became more aggressive.
Image

Now this is fun.
Image

Those larger fish were a handfull on the light fly rod.
Image

The perfect ending to a great day.

The top fly rods look like Sage Launch...I have two of those they're pretty nice. Normally I use a 6wt, but lately I've been thinking it would be fun to try a 3 or 4wt, do you think that's too light Stan?

The first two shots are a 6wt. The rest are a 5wt. All Sage. I have 3 different ones, let me know and we can get together so you can try them all out. I was fishing with two guys a few weeks ago and they used 3wt rods..... worked fine. I also like my little 4wt. But then I like to use small streamer flys, not those big bulky hard to cast popping bugs. :lol:

OK, I'll be out this afternoon on the lake..got off work at 4am and took apart the carburetor on my little outboard to see if I can get it to stop flooding. I'll be bonefishing Tuesday, but probably fish Friday and Sunday at the Lake, maybe Saturday too! I think I should be able to cast my little woolly buggers just fine on a 4wt. I'm sure I'll run into you, seem to do it even when I don't try :D
