The Glen Canyon Dam at the tail of the reservoir generates power for nearly six million households across seven states, including Colorado. When I visited, many shoreline parking lots at Blue Mesa were no longer useful because the water was too far away. Instead, to access the reservoir, we drove past the parking lot, past an old boat ramp, and down about 100 feet onto the dry lakebed. The river didn’t care about me or my problems or what happened in the news. All it demanded was that I throw the right bugs at the right fish the right way. Out of cell range in some shaded canyon, I thought I could leave politics behind.
Think about action in terms of the rod’s “backbone” – a fast action rod will flex close to the tip and thus have a long, stiff backbone. In contrast, a rod with moderate action will have its flex point farther down the blank, closer to the handle, where a less substantial backbone can act as a shock-absorber when battling larger predators. Spinning rods are not just good for bass fishing, they’re lifesavers when the fishing gets tough. Most bass anglers may have a love affair with baitcasting rods and reels, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a tournament angler who doesn’t have at least one spinning rod ready on the deck. Weightless worms, drop-shot rigs, Ned rigs and many other light lures that are known to fill a limit require the use of spinning gear.
I still stand in the rivers every chance I get, drawing comfort from the steady babble of water washing over rocks worn smooth by eons of current. I now carry a thermometer so I can check water temperatures throughout the day and ensure that I am not releasing trout into water too warm to hold the proper amount of dissolved oxygen. While things are particularly bad at Blue Mesa and across the interconnected Colorado River system, this is not an isolated phenomenon.

Customer service with 13 Fishing was amazing, replacing my rod within two weeks of receiving the broken one for inspection. After speaking directly with 13 Fishing’s rod development staff, it was apparant they were genuinely interested in inspecting the issue to make even more improvements in the next generation of Omen Blacks. Market is changing rapidly with the ongoing expansion of the industry. Advancement in the technology has provided today’s businesses with multifaceted advantages resulting in daily economic shifts. Thus, it is very important for a company to comprehend the patterns of the market movements in order to strategize better. It may not be St. Croix‘s most expensive series, but they don’t skimp anywhere, from the Fuji Concept O guides to the VSS reel seat and even a premium locking nut.
You can use a true bargain basement stick and experience success, and it’s also possible to head to the uppermost regions of the rod economy for custom features. It’s eminently possible to get a tournament-ready high-quality rod in the $100 to $250 range. Depending on what you can afford, and how many you’ll need to fill out your arsenal, there’s a reasonable possibility for everyone. More ice anglers chase panfish – broadly defined as bluegill, crappie, and perch – across the ice belt than any other species. Panfish are generally easy to locate, can be found both shallow and deep, and are reliable biters throughout the season.
