  1. as far as your reel goes i would opt for a top drag rather than bottom.much smoother.i recently bought a pflueger president 6730 for 70 dollars very smooth reeling and a nice drag many have said best reel for under a hundred dollars.you will notice a huge difference from the rear drag system when fighting larger fish.if you really want that one fixed just take it to a shimano dealer they should be able to get you parts

  2. Well it's been a great fall nice weather and plenty of fish.

    I was able to get out last week,Things started off a little slow i started to think that it may be to cold for spinners,but then i came up to a nice deep slow run first two casts yielded two fish, the first fish was a feisty male that gave me some aerial acrobats to watch.

    The second fish was a big female that peeled the line off the drag and nearly spooled me because i have very little line on my spool left,so i had to go for a bit of a walk got her in and i think it may be my pb of the season

    We then switched to a section down river and i got a little brown haven't got one of those since sept

    The rest of the fish go back to Nov and late Oct.This one was spot fished in clear water cast about five ft ahead of it don't know how it didn't see me i was only a few ft beside it,but love watching them hit.You have to excuse some of these pics not best quality and some weird faces but that's the way it is LoL

  3. my guess is the maitland still be high and dirty and access is limited now.would think much the same for any other tribs over that way.But don't let that stop ya if its the only time you can get out,you may get lucky.Just gotta use different strategies big roe bags visible colours and fish closer to banks.Fish could be right at your feet

  4. well my steelheading started a month ago got this beauty. A nice hefty hen on a #1 mepps gold aglia some vicious headshakes actually broke one of the hooks off.

    2 weeks ago got out at a fav spot and was suprised by a bunch of small coho that were very eager to hit the spinner.between me and my friend we landed 10 fish mixed bag of small coho and rainbows and a few bass to boot.

    Closing day at another fav spot i lost some steel in a log jam.wraped around a few trees i walked in and tried to get my line untangled felt the fish hit my leg and he busted off boo,but it was fun to watch him go nuts.my buddy got to land his first steelhead and lost one other
