  Well we got a late start today as my son had a football game this morning so we did not hit the river till noon. It was my brother, my 7 year old son and I. We hit mid river where there was only 2 guys on this run and the fish where threw out the run so I hook my son up on his new drift rod with a level wind and then I got all rigged up. I made sure he was short floating and I mean really short as I did not want him to hook up in the shallows and I wanted him to get used to casting and drifting and he did great and not one bird nest. He was able to cast to any area even the trees on the other side   . I was using roe today and hit just over a dozen springs and brought home a bar crome 14lbs female marble. My son played a jack and brought it in. Of course it was not on his rod but he played it from the time just after it was hooked. So we had a good afternoon of fishing. In 4 hours between my brother and I we hit over 20 fish only lost 2. I guess we got a good spot today. Here is a picture of my son, I think the smile says it all.

Late start today for me too. Had all the run to myself.
Hit a few springs, but lost all except a rather dark one, which was released to fisnish its business.

Caught my first chum of the season.

Visibility was Ok, about 1.5 feet mid river.
In the evening, rain started coming down with a vengeance.
Wonder what the river will be like tomorrow...

I was out with a buddy yesterday up by allison pool visibility was 2 feet and shoulder to shoulder fishing the BBers where out in full force and snagging left right and centre, myself wasn't getting anything at all but LOTS of jumpers nice size one, guy next to us caught a nice spring 15 - 20 lbs his first one ever he was happy

Absoluty loving the pin. I now have 2. One is an old Gryce and young now matched woth a sage 3113 and the other is an avon royal 2 that is on a trophy xl which I hope my son will be using as soon as he can handle a 10'6" rod.

Good to hear.  I have tried them out a couple times, but I still for now like my set-up.  Maybe I'll change it up once we move out to the Wack next early spring so I can get out a lot more.  It'll be nice, fishing 4-5 times a week without the big gas bill!!

Quoting fly_guy: "Absoluty loving the pin. I now have 2. One is an old Gryce and young now matched woth a sage 3113..." I have a Sage 8113 and wondering what is a 3113?

Okay Spring, would it be a tad light for spring or even coho?

It isn't a Flyrod.  A 3 power drift rod/CP rod is basically a sensitive meat stick.
