I picked up a new reel on friday, with the knowledge that a chinook was to roll in, and the tempature was to rise above 0 degrees celsius (I only fish when my guides won't freeze). I bought a new Ross Reels Flystart for my 4wt rod, it had a nice look and good feel, and a price I could not refuse, I had it lined with GPX line which is a bit heavier for the fast action of the my rod.
I got on the water at about 10:30 in the morning, and was quickly into fish, a rainbow, and a few white fish. It slowed down for a bit, then I hooked up with an aggresive Rainbow that would not quit, and the fact I had the 4wt definetly did not help, with the bow not wanting to come anywhere near the surface, when I got him in the net I had landed a nice fat 17" Rainbow. A few more fish and I had to head to High River to spend some time with my family. It was a nice test for the new reel and I'm loving it. Will post more on it later.
