When it’s 28 degrees Celsius, it’s still cool in spring fed creeks.
Back on what I call my home water, it was a very hot day but thankfully this is a spring fed creek. I think in the whole day 40 fish were caught but that was 40 fish between two people over eight and 1/2 hours We found some new areas that Beavers had created and the kind of water that normally only holds chub had trout in there. I kind of screwed up with my recording of this particular event because what I what I have learned to do rather than film everything, I’ve learned to turn on the camera once I’ve hooked a fish. That’s what you guys want to see, you want to see the fish being hooked and played and released. Sometimes I forget to turn it off and then I’m turning it off when I hook a fish and so it’s not a lot of video to look at here but it still was a wonderful day.
Zhusrod Review.
I feel like I took a chance I feel like I took a chance on this rod there’s some good reviews but there was not that many. As well, this company has a bunch of iterations and it was very active on Fly Rod and Bamboo Fly Rod forums all around the Internet. The price wasn’t too bad considering a new bamboo rod was starting in $1000 range. A $300 bamboo rod could only be so good or so bad.
Having said that, cosmetically the thing is beautiful. I originally ordered a 3wt | 9ft | 3pc | bamboo fly rod | Montague but was sent a Leonard Baby Catskill Negotiating with the guy it turned out that he’d sent me the wrong rod and I guess he sent somebody else the wrong rod. Rather than send it back I held on to it I don’t know what that supposed to feel like but, this is the softest rod I’ve ever owned! On just regular casts, it loads into the handle. It does take a lot of getting used to considering my other bamboo rods are South Bend and Heddon and in heavier weights. All my other rods are obviously the carbon fiber with the exception of one glass rod that I do love. Casting is a little bit difficult but catching fish on it is really really fun and it has huge shock absorbability although I haven’t tested on a really large fish as you can see from this video
