Fishing for 8 or 9 hours takes a toll on the body; we anglers would normally quit any other sport in a shorter time. Imagine your back is sore, your arm is numb and you don’t even think you would remember what a bite feels like, despite the adversity you just want that last fish! I was throwing this guide tied streamer resembling what I know as a Zonker Minnow on a 5WT FFO rod equipped with sink tip line.
Kate kept cajoling me to cast a few more times as we drifted slowly into Newts landing. I load the pole for my final cast, as the line soars through the air, the thought going through my head, “Wow that cast is nice, I’ll be damned if that doesn’t hook some lip!.” Kate exclaims, “Nice cast and good placement, strip the line in at varying speed!” I follow direction complete two quick strips of around 2 inches of line, pause and accelerate a final strip of over one foot of line….Fish On!
