Apart from choosing the best species of grass to grow, you need to carefully select the best cultivars that will perform well for your lawn's conditions. He adds, 'You can have the best soil in the world, but if you don’t start with the right seed, your lawn is not going to be as healthy and green as you want it to be. Knowing how to grow grass isn’t rocket science, but there is science involved, which requires following a few important steps.' The fact is, though, that with the right preparation, planting procedures, and follow-up care, anyone can enjoy a beautiful lawn. Often, homeowners assume that the only way to get a great-looking lawn is to invest in costly sod and spend every weekend carefully maintaining it. But for most, it seems like an insurmountable task. Otherwise, you could end up with disappointing results.īrian Feldman, TruGreen’s Senior Director of Technical Operations, says, 'Many homeowners dream of a lush, green lawn. Whether you are starting a new lawn from seed or overseeding an existing lawn to keep it looking green through the winter, it's crucial to understand your climate and the particular qualities of your yard before choosing the best grass seed.

The Spruce Home Improvement Review Board.When fishing a blade in slower water I’ll add a little more tension and maybe include a slow retrieval to ensure the blade is spinning or getting some action.

To clarify, if I’m fishing faster water, I won’t impart any action to the float and allow the current to spin the blade. Anyway, this tactic on a river is a common setup for Salmon, Steelhead or Trout as the moving water imparts most of the action on the blade. In fact, this short floating approach with a blade was the setup I had when I caught my first ever Steelhead! I’ll never forget it. The blade should not be hitting the bottom but always drifting above (called “short floating”). I personally like to fish blades under a float in moving water or tide (usually a river). These blades can also act like an intruder in a fishes holding spot and I’ve seen them bite out of (what I believe was) strictly aggression. So this lure is likely to be more effective when there are more fry/smolts present in the water system.

These Colorado blades have a flutter action to them and mimic a fry or smolt (minnow). Colorado Blades (“blades”) can be fished in a number of ways: drifted under a float, trolled, cast and retrieved, and likely many other ways that I’ve yet to try.
