Wow! Thank you all so very much. I’m humbled by all these informative and thoughtful replies.
Bryan: thanks for chiming in, and yes, it would be good to catch up when I’m down your way. I might have to sneak my way onto your boat.
Toby: That’s cool you were a member of that Club. I didn’t realize you grew up in MA. I’ve seen pics of some beautiful fish that you’ve caught on the fly out your way. Seems like you picked that right up.
Rockfish: Thank you for the suggestions and insight as to what spinners you like, how you like to fish them. When I was younger, my father and I would fish for stocked rainbows and we only used the Mepps. Love that little lure.
Puppet: Man, thank you so much for posting. Tons of solid info. I had never even heard of tenkara until you mentioned it here. Looking forward to really diving into all of this. Again, thank you for all insight and suggestions. And to your point about there being so much water to explore - I agree. It’s somewhat intimidating!
Dennis: Thank you. Targeting smallmouth is something I REALLY want to do. I caught a couple on pinz minnows poking around Great Barrington two years ago. Pulaski is on the bucket list for sure.
Mikey: I’m moving to Amherst. Would be great to carpool. It feels odd moving further away from where I ultimately want to be, but I’ll jump at any opportunity to enjoy some time out there. We’ll have to destroy some Bomba Shads.
Once again, thank you all for the replies. I really appreciate them. This move can’t come soon enough, for many reasons, one of the biggest being that I’ve essentially been a caregiver for the last two years. With my sister living only 2 minutes from my folks’ new build, I now get to now relinquish some of those duties. Can’t wait for the day when I can get out without having to worry about bringing home the virus. My hair has literally gone gray from the stress of having to constantly worry. ( even being double vaxxed and boosted, obviously.) That will be such a relief in and of itself.
Tight lines, everyone.
