fishingguy28 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Not a pro by any means but i have been tellin myself that i wanna get into fishin trout for a while now and dedicated myself to 4 days of hittin tribs this week..... I had a great time and had some good teachers, but think i am finally gettin the jist of it!!! I actually had not caught anything the first two times i was out with my buddy but then i went out alone and got fish!!!! what a feeling.... in total i got two fish that were picture worthy and 4 little shakers.... i love it!!!! can't wait to get out nextg weekend..... only thing, is that now i wanna upgrade my outfit.... currently i'm running a stanton on a 13ft avid.... i like it a lot but really wanna upgrade to an islander with a nicer rod!! enjoy the pics guys... nothin crazy but definitely is a start!!

4weight Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Great pics bud. But whatever you do, DO NOT SELL YOUR STANTON!!! They are not made anymore and are worth good coin. Saw one on eBay go for 750! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kemper Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 If your looking at rods check out Fenwicks, Ive got one and I love it to death. Its really tough, light and sensitive but also has enough backbone to fish salmon. At 11.5 feet (I think) its perfect for drifting the smaller rivers that I fish, but im sure it would handle bigger ones as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
