Indian Joe suggests--you might need a metal leader of some sort----spent
last week on Rainy Lake {Minn} fishing for walleye but caught a few 25-35
inch northern pike on spinning gear. They usually cut line before I got
them in.
Fished close in next to rocks in canoe for small mouth bass with 6 wt but
stayed confused as wind was moving canoe around anchor. So I put cooler
full of water in front of canoe to keep bow down then could not get to
cooler to store fish!!! Think you need two folks in a big canoe to ff on a
windy lake. Jeff you might want to buy some of my marobou muddlers as I got
two hits from northerners on fly rod but both jumped once- bit line- and
swam away.
But if you just want to catch wall eye on spinning gear get you a rich son
in law who rents a 55ft houseboat-tows his bass boat -a canoe- a kayak- and
spend a week playing with technology--depth finder- fish finder- computer
showing reefs etc---and you can get tired of eating fish each night. Joe
