Mingo,

Keep your back cast up, and for criminy sakes, get some chest waders. . . . just funnin' ya'.

I went out the day after Thanksgiving, but wore my rain jacket the entire day. Obviously we were experiencing different weather systems.

When you toss the floating line, are you using a weighted bugger, or do you put split shot on your leader? I keep trying this off and on, but can't make myself stick with it, when swinging a sink tip is so much more pleasant. Some good spots just ain't made to swing, however.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
