Breaking in a new gill catcher
My birthday present came yesterday and I had to check it out to make sure it was ok .
Went creek fishing first and found the creek low . But still managed to catch 10 small redbreast and bluegills .
The new rod makes even the little ones fun .
It’s a 6’ 2wt fiberglass Redington Butterstick . Just enough noodle to make it fun , but fast enough to cast .
I only had one spot in the shade where I fished for about an hour then drove nine minutes to the water reservoir I’ve been fishing .
Two of my spots were taken by other fishermen, so I went to my third spot , which happed to be shaded also .
After about ten minutes , one of the other fishermen showed up about 30-40 yards from me . Almost too close IMO .
I wouldn’t have invaded another guys fishing spot like that .
That’s ok though , because I put on a clinic for him , catch a dozen while he went skunked.
The new rod is awesome . Now I want the 5’9” 1 wt Butterstick.

Oh yeah nice pretty new clean cork rod handle, bet is has that new rod smell as well. It is an endless cycle with fishing and new equipment, but so much fun!

I like the looks of those redbreasts, none up in this area. Now that you like the new stick, how long before the rings come off and a new locking reel seat goes on? Oh, and Happy Bday also!

That’s a nice lookin new setup. I’m not sure I would know what to do with a 2wt, or a 1. Sounds like fun though. A better birthday present I can’t imagine, hope your day was the best.
