Good to know? I'm glad it was you and not me conducting that experiment. When I want to huck RVRFSHRs I'll stick to my tried and proven $30 Daiwa spinning rod or yellow Eagle Claw coho chucker. Good to read some posts touting spoons for muddy water bait; I'd always thought of flashy lures as being best suited to water with decent visibility. I took the "any fly is good, as long as it's black" story hook, line, and sinker.
