Mark-The Flyrod is a homemade a friend gave me. It's a 2 piece 8' made from a Fenwick High Modulus Graphite Blank.I've had it since perhaps the earl 90's.Using it on small streams and Bluegill Popping from shore on lakes.It's paired with a Cabelas GR 5/6 weight reel.

Tailraces are good fishing! Depending on how the water is released, the temperature of that water is more stable than in a stream, so fish use tailraces as a thermal refuge. Also, the bubbling from water mixing provides aeration, and better dissolved oxygen content.
