Fishing a spinner in a river

[Eli]

Good read, OT, and I agree that the Mepps spinners are far superior to all others. The only exception is that Panther Martin spinners will spin perfectly when retrieved with the current (on upstream casts) which makes them worthwhile to carry as often there will be an area just upstream from where you're standing but is unwadeable.

One of my best angling experiences involved a light rod rigged with a #2 silver Aglia...cast into the gin clear water of Great Slave Lake for giant grayling...
