Today marked my fourth trip in two weeks to this particular tributary and it didn’t  disappoint me. Earlier in the week we had another snowfall that provided 4-6 inches.

TFO 7' 6" ML Rod and Light Line (4lb test) for Cold Water Pickerel

Dec 04, 2017

Another fun trip chasing Pickerel & Pike on light line (4 lb. test)  The attached clip does a great job of showing how much fun you can have when you use the right rod (TFO ML 7'6") and line (4 lb. with a 12 lb. shock tippet) and balance your tackle to match  the species you're after.  Remember until ice up there's usually ample opportunity to continue catching fish if you're willing to go after it.
