Brian, I try to keep it simple but also tie for the fish I'm going after. A double surgeons for leader > tippet is fine for small resident fish where you using really light tippet (I find anyhow). I always use a clinch or improved clinch at the fly. If I'm going after big residents and tossing big streamers, I'll use a double UNI for leader > tippet and an improved clinch at the streamer.
Well yeah, if I didn't know to pull in I wouldn't pull in. But it's not like I'd go all Vanishing Point on them either, lol!
If they wanna pull me over down the road, by all means.
A road block on a 400 series highway? lol.
So many rebels in this thread. Pull over, and help them do their jobs. If you've got nothing to hide, what's the worst that can happen? They take 20-30mins of your time? Oh the horror!!!
Good job, just an FYI though, I wouldn't be taking pics with OOS fish and posting them anywhere online. I know you're excited but you don't want to get yourself in trouble.
While all you guys are fishing Muskoka, I think I might hit a few honey holes in Gbay Let's hope this weather has them turned on. Goodluck out there! Some cows in that lake.
I run ABEC 7 ceramic hybrids in my two Calais (100a, 200) and my Shimano Antares AR , , They cast a mile but they are pretty noisy. I'd probably go with SS if these end up failing.
