>>1039771Didn't even see that you responded to that other part about my leader not straightening out correctly. I bought them. I have the leader tied to those tinny rings you recommended months ago and have the tippet tied to that ring. I think I just need to spend more time practicing. I feel kinda stupid doing it thought because when I get to the creeks I go to a majority of the time I'm not even casting like I would in the yard. I just pull out 5-10 feet of line and kinda swing it to get the momentum going then lay it into the water since they are so narrow. Anything more and I'm snagging branches and shrubs on either side of the bank
>>1039821Was there no way you could just throw it in the back of your car/truck as is and fillet it when you get home? I'd be hard pressed to let a top tier meal like that go back
