If you get the single hook original rooster tail it will take care of must of your snagging issues. Cabelas carries then in 1/16 sizes, you can order from the brand website for other sizes with still single hook...good bye snags
I got a 4ft 6 ugly stick that is good for small to medium size streams. then bigger rods would be better for bigger rivers. Basically you need a long rod and a small.....But id go small first ,
I hate that there are commercial breaks every two minutes. The show is basically one long commercial. Guess those shows are good when winter come thru, but could use tons of improvement. Like having more trout fishing shows. Never understood why ppl make a big deal of crappie fishing, sunny fishing. I guess I got bored with fishing for warm water fish. Don't like fishing in pond or lakes. But that's just my opinion. Plus there are way more streams to fish on than lakes or ponds.
Nice catch, some big boys there.In pa, there's one c+r stream that I know of that's designated the trophy trout program. Artificial only. Is it the same in that stream?
1/8 rooster tail but to pick just one color... Don't know if I would go green. In the summer I like a yellow and black or mustard yellow and black rooster. Winter I been doing ok on black rooster tail , with ultra violet highlights in the tail. The hair or tail on the rooster is very eye catching for the trout. But to each his own. Also the lighter rooster tails don't sink as fast,
I catch more trout casting upstream than downstream. In fact I only cast downstream in the rain, or murky water. When casting upstream keep your line tight so as to keep out from hitting ir snagging the bottom, polarized glasses help you to see the action of your rooster tail.
