the reels greesed and oiled ,rods all cleaned , guides polished and coated with some rain-x (safe for my rods finish ) .
flyes tied , plenty of pencil leads and split shot , hooks all sharpened .
still searching for that line dave showed me , it’s real , just gotta find a distributer that carrys it .
waders , boots , vest ready to go .
even a couple boats this year if needed , i’m all set just about .
the only thing needed is for the weather to break and the fish to cooperate .
well you are up on me, I am still soaking in the ice for what it is worth…
the bite has been slow in the mornings and comes to a dead hault at noon out on the open lake…
Here is something that made a run, dose this one count?
WHOOO HOOO ! 
YA’ GOT HIM !!!
THATS NO HAMMERHANDLE EITHER 
, DANG NICE Y-BONE[;)] !
GIMMY THE DETAILS , I WANNA HEAR IT ALL .
I had a hold of this one a few times this year, He is not by any means the monster I have been talking about.
This one should give a hint as to how healthy that monster is just by the girth of this little 25 incher… The fish come fat from my lake…
funny part is I told a guy to put his spearing shak where I placed my tip up months ago. I would have been tickled that he got rid of them pike from my gill hole… even if it was by spearing…
