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.

 

 

 

Jerome, Buttonwood and Bluegrass

Have fun ,be safe and good luck fishing
