New from TFO, we call it the "Mile Creek Rod" This 7 1/2 foot 8wt. medium
action rod is a quick loading short rod that is just perfect for fishing the mile
creeks. Get one of these TFO TiCrX rods and start enjoying fishing the mile
streams. You will be able to manuever this rod and stay out of the trees. Wade in
HERE for more info. Finally, a rod made for the mile streams.
I enjoy telling this story and this is the perfect place to
tell it. Amy and I were fishing a stream about 60 miles
north of where we live. Every pool on this project had at
least one angler and when another car pulled into the lot I
thought: "These guys don't have a chance." I'm not sure
what made me do it,  but I asked Amy to go tell them
they can have this pool when they are ready. The man
thanked us and said: "My friend here has cancer and this
was one of the few times I could get him out fishing." I'm
not sure if I caught any fish that day, but I know I felt
good for a long time after that. It was a day on the
stream I would never forget.
These things don't just happen. You have to make the
first move with your actions and make them happen. When
you see someone who has no place to fish, make room for
them, you just don't know what their circumstances are.
Maybe it's their last fishing trip.
I don't fish Erie, but I admire those who have the courage
to brave the elements, including the human elements and
risk life and limb to land one of these great fish.
It's only a matter of time before those of you who are part
of the Contented Angler will have a day like I had and you
will never forget it.
Rebecca Shearer didn't mean to outfish
every guy in the pool here. It just sort of
happened thay way.
