A pleasant day at the creek

[dcfisherman]

After my last class I decided to hit up the creek behind my apartment with my ultralight for one hour. It was a great trip! Caught around 12 fish, mostly creek chubs (some actually around 10 inches). I did catch around 4 sunfish and the highlight of the day...an 8 inch smallmouth! Didn't expect that definitely made the trip! used trout magnets all day today. Waded into some new territory also, very cool!

Yes they do I just ordered my 85 piece kit! Well in the beginning when I caught the bass i was using 4lb mono with a 4lb flourocarbon leader but then I snagged and it broke off and just used the 4lb mono..still caught plenty of fish haha.

They are very fun on flies! I would fly fish for them but my fly rod is a 7wt i got for Steelhead on Lake Erie so it's kinda an overkill haha

4lb mono is fine. Unless it super clear like the caney you really don't need a leader. I like the 4lb fluoroclear that P-line makes. I have made the transition to 2 pound SOS this year after watching alpha catch tons of fish on it.

Every time I go to Academy or walmart they happen to be out of 2lb line! So I settled with 4lb. But yeah it worked fine!

I had to order my 2 lb SOS online. BPS carries the 4Lb Fluoroclear. No one that I know stocks 2Lb line.

I now also use 2# sos with tm's but before the sos I used the BPS brand 2# mono. They seem to be the only retailer carrying 2 lb test anymore.

Anyone around the Murfreesboro area needing some SOS 2# test line I can spool you up....have a 20,000 yard spool and am willing to share.
