Between the Twin Cities and Wausau, there is an endless amount of fishing. Book a day with Brad or one of his guides for a day.
I use 60 fluoro most of the time. No bite offs yet.
Every once in a while I’ll go down to a 40 but I dont like going much below that. And after every fish you should probably take a look to make sure they didnt leave you with a frayed line.
20lb will give probably give you problems.
I typically use a loop to loop connection from my bite tippet to my leader.
By the way, you were real lucky to get that sheepie on the fly. That is quite an accomplishment. I chased them all winter one year, determined to catch one. I threw everthing I could think of. Even hit them in the head with a fly out of frustration. They would follow the fly all the way to my feet, but I never got one.
Bob, I’d pay good money to watch you get towed around by fish in your kayak.
Sometimes I’ll sit on my knees in the front seat of a canoe to give me enough height to see the fish and strike effectively, but still have some stability. It hurts after an hour or so though.
The marsh is a magical place. Too bad it’s disappearing faster than it can recover.
