Default tossing streamers over the weekend...

Finally was able to head out for a weekend with the fly rod. We had a blast, weather was great - thought I would share of few pictures of the better fish from the trip. I also got to try out the Hardy 4000 DD over the weekend, it was way better than I expected. For me, Hardy has dropped the ball on several reels over the past few years, but this one was excellent. The drag was smooth, the reel is feather light but solid. Anyhow, enjoy!

Those fish are huge, congrats.

And thanks for the tip on the hardy. I was on the fence about what reel to get this year, but now I know.

I wish I had some info on longevity, but first impressions were great, especially for the price point. Also, I had a tool that came with my RLS that removed that annoying click of the drag, which is apparently just annoying to myself.
