{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: 4MR friday

You can google this and there should be some videos or sites that describe it - if not, hope this helps.

Remove the line on the reel.  Take it to the store you will be buying new line from (most shops have a monofilament reclamation program - especially the smaller shops).  Buy a new spool of line - which line depends on the size of your reel spool and personal preference - flurocarbon, braid/superline, hybrid, or monofilament (in declining order of price) should all work.  Stren is always a safe bet.  If using mono, I also use Cajun Line.

Tie an arbor knot on the spool (google this - there are tons of on line knot tying sites).  Engage your bail (spinning reel), or start reeling in (conventional/casting) and continue until you have nearly filled the spool with line (it shouldn't go more than the diameter of the spool or you will more than likely have problems with casting).

Good luck

Tried some fishing near the bridges at 4mr on Thursday. There were 9 other folks bait fishing with bobbers closer to the bridgeand pulling in smaller fish periodically. I was hoping to catch some crappie but the enormous amount of surface action wasn't biting top water flies or nymphs so I gave up and switched over to a spoon and caught a little smallmouth. Has anyone ever respooled line on a spinning real? The line is so old that it comes out loopy when cast and contracts when drifted. Any insight would be appreciated
