Here's a little something to maybe give this thread a little boost again...
Had one of our first spring-like days Saturday with temps up around the 70 degree mark and coincidentally took a ride to Bass Pro Shops in Ashland so kid #1 could pick out a new flyrod for his birthday. He settled on a TFO Lefty Kreh Pro Special, 8'6" 4 piece 5wt. We had to check it out 'cause it was on sale for half price. Later I did a little research and discovered they've discontinued this model, but who cares it's a sweet rod and still comes with the lifetime no-fault warrenty. Then we paired it up with an inexpensive reel and some WF line. The 5wt may be a little light for LMB, but he also wanted it for panfish and trout.
So here it is, 1st fish on a flyrod from the pond this year. Right before dark he caught several HBG and this BG using a weighted nymph and a renegade fished wet with no weight.
When I edited this pic, I cut his head off on purpose 'cause he was in mid-blink and it looked like he'd been smoking one of them left-handed cigarettes
