skjordan Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Fished the South Vermillion River system last week with fellow member Chuck Kolesar and managed to pick up this nice fat smallie . My fishing partner had just thrown his plastic worm at a root ball about six times when he turned away remarking "no one home there". I had been busy tying on a hairy fodder and decided to put a cast behind the rootball. Turned out there was a hungry 19 1/4"er living in that hole after all. Chuck is still telling me I caught "his fish". After we photographed and released the fish I took a picture of my fly, looking at the image latter I didnt recognize the fly as any I tied. It was rather crude and was not tied with any of the color patterns I used. As a matter of fact it was plain old butt ugly. It dawned on me later that it was the first Hairy Fodder I ever tied, which happened at One More Cast during a tying seminar I attended last winter. So thanks to Joseph and the rest of the guys that taught all the patterns we tied that day. This smallie taught me a lesson. While its nice to tie perfect patterns, just like in the books, smallies are not all that picky. Well..... most of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
