Giving back to TU & the River

[Troutman]

I dont want to hear that I dont give back to TU or the River . I found this in the river. I dont use Joe Flies Spinners. So I put it on the peg board. I hope the TU chapter over there doesnt get bent out of shape

WTF is that abomination? Does it actually catch trout or only the stupid stockies?

Next time I'm out on the Broadhead I'll put a proper fly on that board.

A treble AND a single hook? So much for easy C&R.

I always see these snagged in the rivers. So I guess they work. Idk as I dont use spinners like these. I mite use a panther martin # 0 maybe 4 times a year . This is what I found in the river. So I just stuck it up there and left it .

This was also McMichael Creek

wouldn't know. I use barbless hooks when I fish . If I cant switch them. I just file the barb off

Use small surgical clamps to smash down your barbs in a half second. Doubles as a perfect hook removed if you get one deep or that doesn't want to cooperate and you are trying to release the fish.

Never have deep hooked a trout with the spinner always very easy to get the hooks out
especially with pinched down barbs they shake right off

That's where I dropped my lucky spinner....
