We didn’t have a scale on the river but plus it minus 30 lbs. I was chasing a 48”+ salmon up and down the river that had to weight in the 40 lb class. My 8 wt rod could take it it and broke after the third battle. He won , I lost. I ordered a 10 wt hydros for next year. Happy birthday to me!

A little off topic but what’s a good fly rod setup to learn with. Something to start off with and practice in my pond? I know nothing at all about them.

Damn that’s pretty good. Just over 33 pounds won the derby back home this year.

Nice! Bummer about your 8wt though. Mine did the same. But mine was due to my shit back cast in the wind and a heavy clouser smashing into it. lol
Looking at snagging a 10’ 10wt H3. Let us know what you think of the new stick.

They are absolutely massive coming out if Lake Michigan. In my 30 years of fishing that river I have never seen anything like that. Every year the last couple of years I say that and every they get bigger. The bait fish population in the GLs is really healthy.

Will do, don’t know if I’ll have it in time for next weekends run. I don’t do well with failure, I gotta have revenge on that beast.

I really do like Orvis rods, they have a entry level set up called a Clearwater that comes with a reel and rod set that carries a good warranty an cast quite well for the money. There are less expensive setups, but they don’t cast or last as well.

Thanks, I’ll check them out. I’d rather pay a little more for something that works well versus buying cheap and getting pissed off trying to learn on it and then give up.

I couldn’t agree more. Having crap equipment and quitting because you get frustrated with is a great way to miss out on a wonderful sport. Next to running the Jeep, it’s my favorite thing to do.

Andy I asked my dad and he said he has a couple fly rods for you that you could get used to fly fishing with before you spend any money on equipment
