Thread: New rod tryout @ Town pond

I enjoyed fishing with the 8’ 5wt while I was using it . But the next day , that hour of casting it felt like I’d fished all day with it .
Put a hurting on my right hand , arm , and shoulder.
Today I took a 6’3” 1/2 weight . Guess you could call it a 1 1/2 weight .
Anyways , a lot lighter in the hand and easier to lift the line off the water and easier to roll cast .
I fished a little over an hour , mainly by the bridge with an overcast turned to partly cloudy befor heading home .
I caught three bluegills, decent size ones , but had at least five that just came unhooked during the battle to get them in . It happens some days .
Hope you guys enjoy me sharing my daily adventures chasing the fish I’ve loved since I was a little kid.
