ibian 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2009 Thanks alot, Ian. By the way, how'd the fly work for you? Catch some big meaty tadpoles? Jan Jan, You wouldn't believe it so I'll tell you anyways. I got a nice size tadpole then a large bull frog grabbed it. Wow what a fight on a 1wt rod, then a 5 lb smallmouth came out of no where and ate the bull frog. It took me an hour and a half to get the small mouth close; when it was within 3 feet of being landed a 20lb pike came and swallowed the bass like it was a small snack. After fighting the 20 lb pike on a 1wt for 30 min my line snapped and I missed a chance to get any pictures. I'll try the pattern again and see what happens the next time.
