Thanks Jim C. That was the information i was looking for.. Terry I was thinking somewhere between Kirkland and Kingston area,,'

Hi Jim C. And Terry. do either of you have an easy launch/ good water on the south Branch? I would be solo so I would have to paddle back if that plays into the equation...I am old and slow LOL! Thanks

Well so rarely do I get it Right, crawling back to bed Was the Right Choice.. Funny Terry Dodge how many "fishy" places don't hold fish ,,lol You guys rocked it....You don't know if you don't go..

Well best made plans... Looked at the radar an a hour drive out to meet you and crawled back into bed.. How did it go and did you guys have to get out due to storms? Thanks for planning this I at least have a point of reference where to get in the river..

Hey All, I will be attending tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing some new water.

John I would like to say yes, but sadly I will NOT be able to attend. Stay Well All!

LOL... Probably should have just posted, Please count me as coming.

Wow~ This is one of the reasons I re-Upped! Learning some new water and fishing with friends!

Really Enjoyed seeing All of you again! Food was delicious! Kudo's to a whole bunch of people who worked hard to have made this a success. What a great day to spend some, time talking fishing at a picnic outside after a pretty tight year! THANK YOU!!

Hello Gents..I'm re-upping:) See you at the Picnic..😎

Good catch Terry.. Another day might be a bit better.:)

Just wondering if anyone has been getting out and can remember the river being this low in June? I have walked the channel a bit in B-town and places I would have never ventured, are pretty do-able . Just wondering? Thanks

Well I found it faulty advice to not needing a set of waders.. Caught a real nasty infection on a cut in the fox and I was wearing Waders.. I know a lot of wet waders but in urban waters with millions of gallons of effluent water every time it rains hard and storm drains connecting everywhere, which is never treated... Waders may be an option to consider, just saying..LOL Was very entertaining (some Sage Advice) see some fly fishing pun from a spin guy! stay warm and healthy..

So I have a couple of Grandt spinning rods 007..007a. I won a Grandt Rod in a raffle while working for the ISA at the Old Schaumburg show, I blew that rod up battling a WORLD Class Carp on the Fox River. To be fair, I tightened the drag too much after 20minutes of running up and down the river. Mr. Grandt told me I shouldn't have probably done that something had to give! Jim Grandt then proceded to send me out a replacement under warranty. I prefer my Grandt Rod's to my St. Croix Premiers and Avids. I find Mr. Grandt a man of his word and his warranty very fair. He even cut me a break as a return customer when I tipped my kayak in Michigan and lost my original 007. I have read some crappy reviews from rod builders and have heard they are nothing special but for me the All- American series is a dependable and a sensitive stick. Frank your welcome try mine sometime in the spring if your so inclined. Not flaming T.J. just know that I have had excellent times and results with mine!
