  1. Not first hand experience, but I recall a fly fishing show recently that instructed to "bow" to the fish with your rod. Not you just the rod since they are fun to watch!
  2. I have a new St. Croix Premier Spinning Rod PS60LF that I would like to trade for a new St. Croix Premier Spinning Rod PS60ULF.
  3. Here is a link to the navigable public bodies of water in IL: http://www.ilga.gov/commission/jcar/adminc...04ZZ9996aR.html
  4. I picked up the coleman version when kmart when out of business. Haven't tried it yet!
  5. Is this the pulley wheel? http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/s...5006000_225-6-1
  6. I think I found Steve's pictures of the system John referred to: http://illinoissmallmouthalliance.net/foru...ic=3569&hl= Will this work on a kayak? Is that the same pully wheel up front? Has anyone used the scotty anchor lock?
  7. My wife surpised me with this for Christmas. I added the rod holders and the rigging up front and made some leashes. I plan on learning to use it on small lakes and than try it out on the dupe. I have looked at some anchor trolley systems and wonder if you guys use/recommend them for the dupe? Thanks.
  8. I have a Triumph by St Croix that I like very much. It is a 6' med/light fast action 1 piece TRS60MLF. I have had it for 1 year and paid $50 on sale.
  9. Well I am inept at both, but fly fishing would be my preference if I could cast better. But than again I like my recurve bow better than my compound, my single action bisley over my m15...
  10. I just want to know what he switched to after checking out the contents of its stomach?
  11. My Field & Stream pack has them. Altough I haven't used them, I believe you just put the spool inside the pocket and thread the line through the hole. You will probably need to leave a length of tippet hanging. Are William Joseph packs water proof? Mine is not so I sealed the seams and it is better but still leaks.
  12. I thought I was gonna have to give up my size 12s, but looks like I can keep them! P.S. I got you package today and can not wait to try them out. Thanks again.
  13. Hey guys I am new to ISA, wading and smallies. I have been fishing the DuPage on many Sat mornings this summer. My second time out I caught one that had to be close to 20. It was my first cast using a super fluke. I did not have a camera with nor did I realize how big it was until I saw some of the mounts @ BassPro. Since than I have made sure to have a camera with but have not come close to it. A couple of weeks ago I almost landed my second largest 14-16" on a mepps aglia streamer but my poorly tied knot failed (improved clinch) before I grabbed it. I have changed to a polomar knot. I am hoping to get back out in a couple of weeks. P.S. I did land my first smallie with my fly rod last weekend at KRSP. My son and I were by the concession stand under the bridge on the creek. I caught it on a popper. It was about 8"!
