The summer has arrived The last couple of months were not good for trout fishing. Although I caught a couple here and there it was a mirror image of my winter fishing trips. Winter in my country was unuasual. Very little snow and temperatures never dropped below zero. No ice was forming on the lakes/river....
Tenryu Lunakia LKT79M Long story short this was my first premium fishing rod the Tenryu Lunakia LKT79M. Gave it to a friend for a day of fishing. He was an inexperienced angler.

This has carved a unique outlook on tackle and the process of trout fishing. Precise, sharp casts need finesse gear. Among top tier manufacturers one...
Winter trout fishing Winter is over, well sort of...the calendar indicates it is spring, but reaching hidden streams still requires trekking threw a snow covered forest floor. This winter has been challenging. 5 rivers fished, 22km of bank covered 5 lures left behind, with a tally of 5 trout. Some might think it is a...
I read about the Megabass Shoreluck XX SLX-83UL in a fishing forum, described as the ultimate rod for trout, I found one in the local classifieds and soon enough the rod was in my hands. An impulsive buy with zero regrets. Still one of my favorite and most used rods. At 252cm one might think...
