eugene f collins Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Throw it. Cast it. It will catch. FISH IT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Thanks Eugene, last night we had 4 tornadoes move thru the area and sent our rivers into flood stage. So tonight I took my little rodent over to a nearby strip pit and did manage to catch 4 small greenies on it. It proved once again that only I can tie a size 2 extra long fly and still catch a size 16 bass on it. The marriage of the spun deer hair head/collar and the cross cut rabbit for the body worked OK but I'll continue to play with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugene f collins Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Learn how to tie a down & dirty. Sits lower in the water. Lasted 4 or 5 greenies at shabbona. Tied a couple others with 4 rubber legs tied together as the tail. While the rivers are coming down throw tight to the shore. Standing up river From a down tree, just floating it upstream from a large branch. Enough talking for me. I gonna fish the dam for a bit.

Rob G Posted September 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Thanks Eugene for the tips, I'm terrible at fishing high and muddy water. Btw, the rodent was on fire last night, over 20 greenies from a nearby strip but unfortunately only one decent fish at 2 lbs., the rest were all dinks. I forgot my floatant and after a bunch of fish, no matter how many false casts, couldn't get the waterlogged deer hair dry enough to float the rearward rabbit hair.

Rob G Posted March 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Watch out Mr. Bass, "Rat Patrol" is comin', not that I'm old enough to actually remember that show unlike some of you old farts : ) btw, first test of that hackle tail make for better movement and less weight than some earlier suede like materials.

Rob G Posted March 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Terry, you kind of remind me of Sgt. Vic Morrow, bet you were a "Combat" guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dodge Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Combat was also a good show but I thought the Rat Patrol guys we kind of cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gillio Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Combat was also a good show but I thought the Rat Patrol guys we kind of cool. Liked them both, though I think I saw the entire combat series numerous times over with all the reruns of it through the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Wright Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Ha! Three Blind Mice, Rat Patrol, Combat... This is a great fishing show!! Perhaps a dusting of a clear varnish or shellac (sp) will repel more water? Nice tie, man. Careful in the high water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
