fishing

Fished a lot this last weekend.I fished Roaring River Friday, caught probably 30 fish.It was an ok day bunch of people were out visiting the park.Saturday i fished Taney. The day started off good caught 20 fish within an hour and a half.Then the crowd came and the fishing slowed down alot. Left Taney and went to Roaring River for a few hours.Caught probably 20 fish, nothing big.Fished Sunday morning for a few hours.I took Daisy with me (my beagle puppy), so i didn't get to fish as much as i wanted too. Didn't take and pics, but had a good time all weekend.

new (old reels)

got me reels in from ebay. Both are Pflueger sal-trout 1554. The cool thing is they are late 30's early 40's model reels, and they both work line new.

roaring river

Fished Roaring River yesterday. The day started off good, i hooked a 8 pound male rainbow on second cast. I thought wow that was easy, but no sooner said the fish went over the small waterfall between the two fishing holes.With the fish splashing and jumping he managed to disengage my hook. THE FIGHT WAS OVER. So i walked to the next hole and saw the shape of a fish. So i cast twice, watched the indicator and BAM. The fish was hooked.After a 10 minute fight i had the huge rainbow in my net. Took a few pics, weighted her (11 pounds) and released her unharmed to swim another day.Managed to catch around 25 fish.
