The main reason I live here is that we have some of the very best trout fishing in the country.
I wish our weather here in Wyoming was so stable. We have two seasons here, Winter and the 4th of July. But the kicker is that anyone who has lived in Wyoming for more than 3 years consecutively has seen snow fall on the 4th of July!
I will echo a few others "UNI KNOT!!!"
Your problem could be that there is way too much line on the reel. Pull off 30 to 40 yards of line and see if the line still comes loose. If not, clip the excess line off and then tie on your "bait."
I use a rule of thumb that says 1 oz weight for every 10 pounds of breaking strength. If you are using 6# line, you should use no sinker heavier than 3/4ozIMO.
I do believe that I am doing better than most, thank you very much! And how are you this fine frosty (3 degrees as I write this) morning?
I totally agree with Douglashatt! You will need lots of patience!
I have been using Jawbreakers for bass with pretty good success. The ones I use are black white brown and olive.
I live in Cheyenne, Y. I had 3 batteries in my Tracker. Left them in the boat all year long and never had a problem. In the spring I would put a trickle charger on each until fully charged.
Are you certain that your thread is not hitting the point of the hook when wrapping? I have this problem sometimes when my thread is wrapped just past the point of the hook.
Contact the folks who are responsible for checking your fishing license, ie: dept. of game and fish or dept. of natural resources etc. They can help out with legality questions and suggest types and amounts of fish to stock also when to stock said fish.
I slab my fish (same as fileting except you leave the skin on and the bones in) and cook them on a BBQ skin side down. Salt pepper and garlic powder to your liking.
Hello Dave,
Welcome to the forum.
You already have the necessary rods and reels for bass fishing. On the fly rod get some Jawbreaker flies in black brown white and olive.
On the spinning gear step your line up to 6 or 8 pound test and use plastics, cranks and spinners.
All bait cast reels are conventional reels. Not all conventional reels are bait cast reels. The spool rotates on all conventional reels versus spinning reels where the spool is stationary and the line is wrapped around it.
I agree with RapeVanGuy. Lizards and salamanders are deadly on LMB, especially during pre-spawn and spawn periods.
