Well I finally completed my move to a new river up here in Manitoba and the fishing season opened on Saturday. Needless to say my wife saw little of me over the last 3 days. Most of my fishing was done with a 3 wt fly rod and a little 5 foot UL spinning rod. Ended up catching some pike, walleye, mooneye, channel cats, crappie, carp and drum.
The surprise of the day was a carp on my UL spinning rod that almost had me spooled before I started chasing it down the bank. Just over 30".
Now this $5.95 "final sale" UL rod has notched up a 34" channel cat and a 30" carp. I haven't even told my $500 fly rods about this.
