Nice video! I used to fish with my Granddad very close to there when I was a kid, he lived close to the river. I need to head out there.

It's better now due to the rain, and should be better after this week, with more rain coming. If you haven't yet, try fishing the upper and lower ponds at garey, they are loaded with bass and slab bluegill.
@diyvintagefly 8 күн бұрын
I bet so. We were there from NC for the eclipse, and did hit the one pond that wasnt being used for a wedding. And yes we got bass and big bluegill as well.

Hey man just experienced the same exact thing a week ago during the heatwave here. Had my line in the water by 6am, was having so much fun (glassin with the Butterstick) by 2pm I hadn't realized I did not drink any fluids but my caffeinated drink which probably dehydrated me too. Temp went up from 70s to a humid 98 by the time I realized how winded I was and how hot the sun had gotten. I sprawled out on the ground dizzy and took all my gear off, barely got to the car where I had to cool off. Lets both remember to stay cool and hydrated man!! Also awesome video besides the heat!! You sold me a Moonlit lol
@diyvintagefly 12 күн бұрын
Thanks. Yep, heat can definitely sneak up on you especially when not drinking enough...which im prone to do. We all certainly need to stay hydrated this summer.

What line were you using? I have this in a #4 with SA #4 Frequency Trout. I think it’ll perform better with a shorter taper or their multipurpose which is more like a #4.5, though I still enjoy the slower action. Takes me back to the 80’s only this is a much better glass rod. For the price, this is a great value and feels like my Orvis Superfine. Admittedly, I feel ashamed for having spent $500 on a rod that performs on par with a $40 rod.

Im not sure...its an older line i lost track of after a few line swaps.

Enjoying your videos! You seem to enjoy the moonlit 6wt. Saw you also have the 5wt. How do they compare? In my limited experience, there can be quite a difference between rods only a single line rating apart. Just curious... Thanks for the inspiration the get out and fish more!

I had that exact rod and it made me hate fiberglass until I got rid of it and tried a custom built glass model. I hated the SLOW action of the rod and it definitely takes a lot of adjusting to set the hook without missing lots of fish.
