I've been to this shop before, and am looking forward to the flea market thing.... I need some hooks, maybe some tippet... I dunno.. its also a good excuse to road trip with some buds, rods & whiskey right thru some towns with WTMA areas. Check the link :::!!!

12x browns
I've been trying to land a 12" trout on 12x tippet for a while, and this weekend I almost did it. The first fish (the one I lost may of been close, I'm hoping. 'Cause it fought pretty good.
This second guy was an okay 10"... but not 12. Got him on a descending dub picket pin.
After having some pesky knots form in my furled (twisted) leader, I made a Rasta themed one out of 3/0 uni ... it worked out better than I thought today.
I got a new pattern going today too. Took a thick gauge hook, black bead head, lead body, moose tail/back/and legs... all on the same moose hair clump.
Didn't work half bad either. Still no 12.
