    Default Good heathen-day fishing

    Took a 2.5hr trip up the road and fished Athens lake with a buddy of mine on Sunday. We caught some BIGGGGG bream-fish(red-ears/coppernose/green-sunfish/etc). My 7'6" TFO professional 3wt is a fanstastic rod. Flat fish OTF are pretty damn fun.

    Chased some schooling LMB's for awhile and I hooked up on a 2lbr, and I can honestly say that I've never felt a bass fight like that. I was impressed.

    Got to throw a TFO Mini Mag(8-10wt model), and if you have the chance to get one or throw one...DO IT. They cast un-believably nice. I'll try to get some pictures from my buddy to post-up.

    glad to hear the TFO is treating you right. i pulled the trigger on one last week and so far am impressed with the feel of it in my backyard, haha. i am waiting to take a trip to the mountain waters in about a month and then we'll see how it does in the creeks and overhangs.

    i went with the 4wt Finesse, mainly b/c of its shorter length and packability. the rod i'd been using for the past 6 or 7 years and that went out west with me broke the last time fishing, got caught on a branch and just splintered. so, i went with a little shorter rod and so far i'm pretty pleased with it.
