FISHING !
whilst i did commence a 'sport' thread - i neglected to make a separate thread entirely devoted to the most important and most participated sport of fishing - i know their are many fishermen on here [certainly was 'there' ]- my own love specifically is fly fishing but of course to include all other types of this wonderful pursuit - this image shows a 23lb carp i took on the rod you see which was just a 6weight with a 4lb breaking strain leader -so you can maybe imagine the ensuing fight to land it -took an hour to get it in would love to hear your stories and experiences and see your photos -catching a fish is a small part of a fisherman's day there is always much more to the day than that as satisfying as it may be - i know many of you live in fantastic fishing country and a thread like this can challenge National Geographic for images -

Funny, I was just talking to my dad about fly fishing this weekend while visiting them in NY state. I used to fly fish a lot in college, it was right on a tributary creek to Lake Erie. I've been a few times since moving to GA, but I really would like to get back into it a little more heavily. When my dad retires and my parents can come down for extended stays, I think we'll have to go. I just have so much going on right now, that I don't even remember that I like fly fishing...
Growing up, there was always a trout stream within walking distance.

On crown land about 6km and 2 lakes north of my property is Cross lake. It literally looks like a big X. On on of the corners of that x (NE corner) I am (so far) 100% for hooking a pike while paddling by it. I think 6 times in a row now since starting to explore in that direction this summer. I have already dubbed it pike point. I love pike fishing, and plan on abusing my success there regularly, and I am seriously considering an ice fishing venture there in mid/late January. I only worry how accessible it might be: I might have to snowshoe the 6+ km through the bush and over the other lakes, completely breaking trail. I get snow up there over 8' deep, because of windchannels and the fact it is completely untouched, so I simply just might not be able to get there in the winter.
It is now my duty to completely drain you.

Hope to contribute to the thread when I have more time, but wanted to ask is that one of their Sintrix rods? I have read some about them but never seen one in person.
