Keeping up with the trends
1960s– Simple lead head- twist it the right way and yank away.
(still works on a cold day like today with a juicy piece of worm attached- gets bites)
1970s
Dollflys- leadhead with a bit of yarn or hair attached. Gets some bites and keep yankin’ .
1980s- plastic more prevalent now
Leadhead with twistertail- more bites? Maybe?
Definitly more DNR presence.
1990s- 2000s
Lots of DNR and Tech.
Carolina rig – floater and tail , egg or trolling sinker
More bites.
Modern day –
Carolina rig – tail and or no tail.
More bites – less snags?
Which is best ? WHO KNOWS !
Whatever inspires confidence that’s what I say.
Decent bite yesterday- Cold but way less anglers on the river . Shold be bout the same today.
Play hooky and go fishing
Today
A slight chance of snow showers between 11am and 1pm, then a chance of rain and snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 42. Little or no snow accumulation expected.
