I'd add one size to Rob's otherwise perfect list, a 10 weight for
throwing lead core shooting lines. It would be a specialty rod to go
with an eight weight (which will handle up to a Teeny TS 350). It would
be necessary only if your plans include fishing for Kings deep. (Hint -
put your line
I've been struggling
with the idea that moon phase affects fishing for quite some time. My wife
and I have an arrangement in which we each get one weekend per month to do
whatever we want, i.e., a break from the kids. My weekend, of course,
always consists of fishing. Normally our schedule

Jim,
Speaking strictly from my own fishing experience, I've found fishing
success less likely to occur near and during a full moon. This has held
true for me both in the salt and fresh
Now for my two cents worth. Danny and I have had similar experiences, that is that fishing is worse both in salt and fresh, lake, and river near or on a full moon. With one exception. That exception being if you fish after dark. One of my favorite things is fishing lakes such as Lenice, Nunnaly,
Hm,
I've heard the opposite so have always fished the dark of the moon.
Did
you keep count of fish caught during different phases??
My
experience has been that rainbows play after dark, but cutts
have
to be
home. Haven't fish for browns at night, but have heard
that
they
also like to
if one wishes, one can use lead-core heads with an 8 wt. a 30' lead core
head only weighs 390 grains, so taking you teeny 350 example, one would only
have to cut back about 3 ft of the 30' head to get to 350 grains (and the
lead core will sink faster due to smaller diameter of the line). i

Had a similar thing happen with a beaver, but during daylight. I was fishing a small lowland lake alone and had seen one earlier but paid it no attention. I was playing a fish when this gawd-awful splash went off what seemed a couple feet behind

Amen on the beaver splashes at night. You'd think Godzilla had jumped in the river by the noise they make.

With certain species of fish, in certain locales, what I've found is
that they feed more readily during the full and no moon periods or the
periods of maximum tidal flows and levels.
Other species/locales seem to be more geared toward maximum feeding
light. I believe it all depends on where

I have
had a number of nocternal encounters with beavers...

of the fishing related highlights:
A
friend and I had fished Quail lake well in to the dark and decided that instead
of walking out, we would wade through the mud and kick back
I guess I'll jump on the beaver bandwagon here. My first experience with
beaversplash was at also at night in a float tube. It sounded like
Sasquatch throwing bowling balls into the lake. Normally I don't give much
thought to Sasquatch but on this night I was at Castle Lake, alone.
