Cumberland River Shock results are SAD !!!

oh by the way. if this bottom clinging slimy weed isn't dealt with, the river will just be a put and take system like the small creeks.

It will not take very long either given the rate it has grown in the last year

Lost my last message big fingers poor eye sight. But I'm wondering what you guys mean by 6 wght and so forth. I'm not going to run out and buy another fly fishing rig, been there done that. But in my youth, we used letters for instance a BE would be a torpedo taper for large flys and bugs, An E BE would be used for subtle fly presentation, I never used a sinking tip, and floating lines that were good were rare. Split bamboo was the most used material and a lot of rods had two tips and four sections, No we didn't need to worry about dinosauers or wild indians!Tied a lot of step down leaders myself. My last rod was a 9ft loomis that cost me an arm and a leg, bought it from a friend who made custom rods. When I decided to give up fly fishing he completly stripped the blank and turned it into a spinning rod that was a dream. While wading near the dam, slipped on a balanced rock, and broke it, That reaaly hurt. thanks for the patience. I dont have anything against the "purists" who live by the fly rod, but I also fished the west and the white river using spinning gear, and enjoyed it.
