It is mainly for smaller fish.

To daiwa's/suntech's/Nissin's etc...and what went from an easy selection to one that has become nigh impossible.

I love the action, bend profile, and casting control. yet to fish it, but if it is as good as I hope it to be from the "backyard" trial, will surely be a favourite.<br />Craig Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05367712526601241590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952460912398461727.post-13655802062491300022013-01-13T19:19:44.406-08:002013-01-13T19:19:44.406-08:00It was actually quite warm at 40 degrees F, just b...It was actually quite warm at 40 degrees F, just before a cold front came in and plunged the temps to their current 3 degrees F.<br /><br />-TomTom Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18240935660681343164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952460912398461727.post-9940818517391102372013-01-13T18:05:24.801-08:002013-01-13T18:05:24.801-08:00Those were great pictures!

It almost looked like one of the fish had a dry fly in its mouth. <br /><br />Hate to bother you more but...... The other thing that I was wondering about is how the cold will effect the thin light Tenkara rods. Do they become more susceptible to breakage? I am a bit nervous about fishing with my new Diawa Sagiri 39 in this weather. Next week doesn't look like it will have too much wind, but the temp will still be in the 10-15 degree range. <br /><br />Was it warmer on the creek you were on? BTW did you catch any cutts there?<br />Thanks again.

We have been virtually snowed in for two days, and it was amazingly cold before that. --- cabin fever is a epidemic here. <br /><br />I am wondering if you would say what flies you were using?
