[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 718459, member: 4319"] Yep, I use Wulff Tri-Taper on the rod I fish the majority of the time. It really lays out good if I make a half decent cast. The rollcast is my go-to cast, I often fish where a long backcast is inhibited by trees and such....or even goobers taking 'streamside strolls'. No matter how much I'd like to pop them in the face with a floating beetle, I try not to. I've never landed any mammals or birds, but I did watch a guy and his buddy almost bring a muskrat to hand in Missouri once a few years ago. The rat was swimming by, and the guys buddy kept told him to bring it in or he was gonna hook it. He just laughed it off and said he wanted to complete his drift, said the rat would swim under his line. Sure enough, he somehow ended up tangled with the muskrat and played it like a dang trout untill he got it close to shore. The muskrat was remarkably calm, and they just kind of poked at it and rolled it around with their nets untill it freed itself (mostly just wrapped in the line, not hooked very deep I guess) and swam away. I about passed out I was laughing so hard. [/QUOTE]
