It's time I learned how to fish.

That is a good tip, thank you.

Actually, what is impressive are the 2# line records...

[Dr_Fwd]

2freakin hundreds18# with a line that were supposed to break at 4#???!!!! It is damn impressive!

Is that so when the fish pulls, it just lets some line out, then you reel the fish in each time it rests? Interesting...there is so much I don't know about fishing.

That fish I caught, which I believe was a 9" Rainbow Trout, was so easy to reel in I thought that I lost it.

yes that's the principal. it can be 2 steps forward 1 back for the entire time with a lively fish.

catching carp is a good way to learn alot.

Which can equate to four hours or more with the right critter on the other end of the string...but the end result, if successful, is fairly satisfying.

Last trip I've got 24" walleye! That was fun!!

6x and 7x tippit used in fly fishing are in the range of 2-4lb test. I've caught hundreds (ok, ok, its actually thousands) of trout on that light a line. Many were over 4 lbs. Good reel, good line, good technique.

Not that it would be easy to do, but you guys should take a trip to Junction and fish in the colorado - gunnison junction. People regularly pull out 3-4 foot cats and bigger all the damn time. I've never had any luck, but i've been fishing since I was little and maybe only caught a hand full of fish... bad luck...
